Early research suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can enter the brain easily through a person's nose, infiltrating brain cells where it lurks unchecked, possibly leading to lasting neurological symptoms, such as trouble with thinking and memory.

Two new studies — from the California National Primate Research Center and the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto — suggest that the virus directly infects neurons in the brain, potentially offering clues as to why some people suffer from a range of symptoms long after their initial Covid infection.

Feel like we've been down this road before but I don't think Pfizer was the one driving us so I feel a little better about this trip than the previous.

This is precisely what we need.

A study by University of Oxford scientists found that people with a specific type of gene were more at risk of respiratory failure and death if they contract covid-19. It said the gene showed up in more than 60 percent of people with South Asian ancestry.

 

 

The federal government has canceled a deal worth $628 million with Emergent BioSolutions, a Maryland-based vaccine manufacturer that was a vanguard of the Trump administration’s program to rapidly produce vaccines.

This is a game changer.

I remember talking to @Shanedorfand @ramssuperbowl99about treatments back in the summer of 2020. How far we have come!

Yeah, it failed to inspire confidence in me too.

I'm envisioning an Adderall induced SwAg in full lawyer and full carnage mode simultaneously taking on this pharmaceutical error in a civil court of law, and retiring early in the aftermath.
