Interesting article in a diving magazine by the head of an emergency department in a German hospital, who's also a diving enthusiast. Some recovered #COVID19 patients have abnormal lung function preventing them from diving. Unclear if permanent. #sequelae

Minor correction: the author of the article is the head of the emergency department in a hospital in Austria, not Germany.
More from the doctor (news article in German). He found the disconnect between the apparently healthy appearance of the patients and their lung scans surprising, even going so far as to call the radiology department to ensure he had the correct scans.

Policymakers shouldn’t be trying to manage COVID-19 as if it were seasonal influenza. It’s not and never will be. SARS-CoV-2’s greater transmissibility leads to faster viral evolution. This means waves of disease throughout the year, rather than a single winter COVID season. 🧵
Thanks to vaccination, COVID-19 is far less deadly than it used to be. But a virus doesn’t have to put people in hospital to be disruptive. Leaving aside the issue of long COVID, frequent waves of infection will grind down economic productivity.
Many seem to believe COVID-19 will become seasonal, but why should it? Influenza generally isn’t very transmissible and infects a small number of people each year. There’s plenty of time to design vaccines based on what’s happening in the opposite hemisphere of the globe.

(1/6) Respiratory viruses are much more likely to spread indoors than outdoors, but outdoor super-spreading events can still occur if the conditions are right.

A new study describes a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak affecting 131 people at a night market. 🧵 Picture of a night market.
(2/6) The outbreak happened when a family of 3 people infected with the omicron BA.5.2 variant visited a night market in Zhejiang Province, China, in July 2022. They spent 1 hour and 4 minutes at the market.
(3/6) On the evening of the outbreak, it was warm (27 degrees Centigrade), humid, and there was very little wind.

Most of the market stalls had big umbrellas and it was crowded. The market had a capacity of 5,000 people.

Could future vaccines be administered via a patch? Researchers have developed skin patches containing tiny “microneedles” made of sugar and salt which dissolve on contact with skin, painlessly administering a vaccine in the process. 🧵
asm.org/Articles/2022/…
A key advantage of this technology is that a vaccine patch can induce a special kind of immunity in the skin, known as mucosal immunity, which can prevent infection and transmission. Injectable vaccines may only prevent severe disease.
Skin patch vaccines are also likely to have fewer side effects because of the way they slowly dissolve over minutes to hours.

This slow-release formula is less likely to trigger flu-like symptoms that sometimes follow injectable vaccines.

Imagine if you could rapidly detect COVID-19 in public places by testing the air. Now you can! Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new air monitor that can detect the presence of an infected person in as little as 5 minutes. 🧵
nature.com/articles/s4146…
The compact device, which measures 12 x 10 x 10 inches, has a sensitivity of ~80% and can detect as few as 7 viral RNA copies per cubic metre of air with a resolution of 5 minutes.
The major limitation of the prototype is noise (75-80 dB; similar to heavy traffic), although the researchers are trying to develop a quieter version with low-noise motors and/or sound-proofing.

And now for something completely different.

Someone I know is a musician & recently released their first album. I think it’s pretty cool, and if you like rock, maybe you will too. 🤘🎸

You can stream the album here: ditto.fm/blonde-zombie-…

Read on to see reviews. 🧵
#NewMusic
Australia’s The Hard Rock Show called it “a really good, solid album - well worth your time.”
Germany’s Hellfire-Magazin rated the album 7.5 out of 10.

A representative survey of US adults in mid-2022 found that 7% had long COVID (4-week definition; using questions developed by the UK’s Office for National Statistics).

One-quarter of these people said their daily activities were impacted “a lot”. 🧵
🔗 academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…
Around the same time in the UK, 2.8% of people aged 2 years and older were estimated to be living with long COVID.

But children are less likely to experience long COVID than adults, and the authors of the US study only surveyed adults.
