"Emerging evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection" #NotMild cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss…

Public Health Ontario's Evidence & Risk Assessment for SARS-COV-2
(June 23 2022) stated:
"Preventing high levels of COVID-19 community transmission may mitigate the
incidence of PACS (long COVID) and its long term impacts" publichealthontario.ca/-/media/Docume…
Official from Public Health Ontario SARS-COV-2 Risk Assessment (June 2022)
"Emerging evidence indicates that reinfection adds risk of all-cause mortality, hospitalization and
adverse health outcomes during acute & post-acute SARS-CoV-2 reinfection." #DontGetReinfectedBySARSCOV2
Public Health Ontario SARS-COV-2 Risk Assessment
"Additionally, the risk and burden may increase in a graded manner according to the number of infections, which suggests preventing reinfection could reduce overall SARS-CoV-2 burden of death & disease" #DontGetReinfectedbySARSCOV2
Official from Public Health Ontario SARS-COV-2 Risk Assessment (June 2022):
"Current COVID-19 vaccines and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection do not provide sterilizing immunity (i.e., full protection from infection or reinfection)." #DontGetReinfectedbySARSCOV2

"reviewed studies generally indicate that human norovirus (NoV), Hep A (HAV) and Hep E (HEV) possess a high heat stability. Heating at 70-72 °C for 2 min significantly reduces infectious titers, but often does not result in a >4 log10 decrease"

"Resistant fractions of viruses may remain infectious in thermal inactivation processes and inactivation of newly discovered or enveloped viruses in thermal food preparation processes should not be assumed without further testing"
"Viruses do not follow log‐linear thermal inactivation kinetics and the thermostability of parechovirus and influenza virus is similar to that of proven foodborne viruses"
"viral RNA was detected in few cases in the aquatic fauna and flora, especially in bivalves and labyrinth fish, although these organisms seemed to be mostly passive carriers of the virus rather than host allowing virus replication"
"virus persisted, & remained infective in aquatic environments, for 12 days at 22-35C & up to 20 days at 4C, irrespective of the type of water...significant decrease for AIV persistence models was recorded for sea water, after 12 days, at 35C" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22106514/#:~:t…
@AuDHDeep1 @1goodtern To be fair, I think most of us who are COVID cautious have to deal with people who don't understand why, and they think it's us who have a problem.
Yes, it's typically a problem of understanding of risk, but their problem, not ours! 😆
Most really don't understand the risk
@AuDHDeep1 @1goodtern They don't understand the risk to themselves, the risk to their kids, they don't understand they will keep getting reinfected, likely suffering cumulative harms over time as a result. They assume the risk is just to the concerned person at best, & they resent life being limited
@AuDHDeep1 @1goodtern It's a problem if less supportive or unsupportive partners go to others who also don't understand the real risks from the ongoing pandemic, & sadly there are many medical & psychologist professionals who really don't know enough about it either, & assume irrational anxiety 🤦♂️
BBC: "The Covid pandemic may have impacted brain health in people in the UK aged 50 & over, according to a new study."
You don't say?? Not a surprise when everyone keeps getting infected by SARS-COV-2 that we've known causes brain damage for over 3 years bbc.co.uk/news/health-67…
