Here is a deep dive into how the groups assessing the different variants of the SARS-Cov-2 virus as it mutates. Not for the casual reader… 😉

There are coming reports on Covid’s effects on the immune system, and neither of them are sunny. This study from the Linköping University in Sweden shows that severe cases has long lasting effects on T-cells and other parts of the immune system similar to chronic HIV-infections. Yet another reason to not get infected.

Anyone read up on Covid and transmission/mitigation. knows that the SARS-Cov-2 virus likes to get airborne. 90%+ of transmission is airborne. This makes air quality important when it comes to protect people indoors.

Some research indicates that micro-clots have a big part in forming Long Covid.
Later variants have mutated enough to not show up on single gene PCR-tests. For testing to function satisfactory PCR-tests now need two gene detection.
As often, what your parents gave you in terms of DNA can affect how your life turns out. In this case it is how ill you get from a Covid infection.
