“In a nutshell, this study illustrates that respiratory-only mild SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to detrimental changes in the brain, likely mediated by inflammatory factors. Similar neuropathobiology may be shared in chemo-brain, post-ICU syndrome and ME/CFS”
Mechanisms and potential for further research and treatments also discussed
“"The findings... illustrate striking similarities between neuropathophysiology after cancer therapy and after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and elucidate cellular deficits that may contribute to lasting neurological symptoms following even mild SARS-CoV-2 infection"
I fear what we are storing up for ourselves with tens of millions infected with Covid in the U.K. alone

The problem is that whilst Johnson has no credibility (then there’s the hurdle of visible drinks, tables of party food etc to overcome), Cummings credibility is also pretty shot with all his Barnard Castle bollox, and the fact that he clearly wants revenge.
Those additional witnesses he says will swear under oath are likely to be very important.
Especially if the spoke directly to Johnson or witnessed Johnson be advised of the party and heard his response.
What will be interesting is if Sue Gray actively seeks them out.
“They’re all up there backing him, most of them. That’s my worry now, with the Party. ‘Oh he’s apologised, let’s just get on with the job’. No – you’ve lied about doing the job.”
“The rest of his Party, apologising and saying they are going to back him. How can you?”
“My concern is, if all the Conservatives are now standing behind him, do we have the confidence in them? Are they just going to sweep it all under the rug too?"
Everyone had voted Tory in 2019. Asked if they would vote for Boris again now, not one person put their hand up.
Jonathan Powell said his experience of Downing St was that it had been extremely difficult to take in any food or drink without exhaustive checks by the police.
He said: “I am amazed they could send someone out and come back with a suitcase full of booze. Imagine putting that through the scanner.”
I am too. Stunned. It could contain a bomb, a grenade or a load of coke (as Cummings has already pointed out was perfectly possible).
The State argued that the tennis champion’s prominent public status and vaccination status could make him an icon for those opposed to Covid-19 control policies, whether he liked it or not.
The government’s lawyers raised Djokovic’s admission that he had attended an interview with French magazine L’Equipe last month after testing positive for Covid-19 as an example of his apparent disregard of public safety.
“Taking responsibility” in Johnson’s book seems to be a slippery business
He knew they were occurring
He went to some & knew they were parties
He appeared to dismiss concerns raised by others
He set the tone & culture
None of that is admitted
That isn’t taking responsibility
@BorisJohnson and @OliverDowden ‘s version of taking responsibility seems nominal and untruthful AND WILL NOT WASH.
“I didn’t know there were parties in breach of the law and guidance, but I am PM but as the poor victim I will take nominal responsibility whilst sacking and discipline everyone else”
Are data being collected systematically on reinfections (including in under 90 days) by Omicron on people previously infected with Omicron? prevention.com/health/a387582…
I was slightly startled by this suggestion given how recently the Omicron wave seems to have started even in Botswana & South Africa (Nov 2021) especially as sero studies suggested decent immunity against Omicron by Omicron infection (esp if also vaxxed).
This would suggest possible reinfection within 3 months. But no link to study, data or reports.
In the UKHSA collect data on reinfections but only counts it as such if new infection occurs >90 days from prior infection. (I’m unclear if that will change).
