The earliest known calendar was developed in ancient Egypt around 4236 BC. It was a lunar calendar of 12 months of 30 days each. Seasons were tracked but not named. Image
2) Ancient civilizations first divided the year into periods based on agricultural cycles ("season" in latin means the action of sowing) and weather patterns long before formal calendars existed. Image
3) In all ancient civilizations, men knew that time can be divided in this interplay between environmental conditions and human action.

Likewise a seasonal disease is an infectious illness that shows a pattern of increase and decrease in incidence over the course of a year ...

โ–ถ๏ธ a particular season.
โ–ถ๏ธ changes in temperature, humidity, rainfall, etc. which can affect the transmission of the causative pathogen outside the body.
โ–ถ๏ธ Seasonal variation in human behavior like indoor or outdoor crowding, school terms, ...
5) COVID-19 is not a flu, is not endemic but pandemic, and involves several factors, viral, environmental and behavioral.
This does not mean, however, that COVID-19 does not follow regular cycles with relatively stable spacing between waves and, that the factors we have cited ... Image
6) ... are not correlated with the increase in cases.
The word "season" remains interesting, if it is used in a more subtle definition, which takes into account the complexity of the factors which are at play.

2) SARS-CoV-2 infection inhibits oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the mitochondria, resulting in increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This ROS stabilizes HIF-1ฮฑ and redirects cellular metabolism. Image
3) Elevated HIF-1ฮฑ induces glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and mTORC1 to generate substrates for viral replication from glycolysis and glutaminolysis intermediates. Inhibiting these pathways impairs viral growth. Image

2) In this brief report, researchers looked at 20 individuals who previously had COVID-19 but were never vaccinated. Bone marrow samples and plasma were collected to analyze antibody-producing cells. Image
3) Two specific cell populations (subsets B and D) that secrete antibodies were analyzed using ELISPOT assays for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and tetanus antigen.ย 
Subset D is thought to represent long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) responsible for durable antibody responses.
