Typically, people who experience psychosis encounter it in young adulthood or alongside dementia later in life. Post-COVID psychosis can hit adults in their middle years.

Infection by SARS-CoV-2 causes a dizzying array of symptoms beyond the respiratory distress that is its most notable feature. These range from intestinal distress to blood clots to the loss of smell, and symptoms vary wildly from person to person.

In 1889, a mysterious respiratory illness emerged in Russia and then spread across the globe, triggering at least three waves of infection over the course of several years.

Israeli scientists said they found "striking" differences in the chances of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 when they compared patients who had sufficient vitamin D levels prior to contracting the disease, with those who didn't.

Gates pushed for a plan that would permit companies to hold exclusive rights to lifesaving medicines, no matter how much they benefited from public funding. Given the enormous influence Gates has in the global public health world, his vision ultimately won out in the Covax program—which enshrines monopoly patent rights and relies on the charitable whims of rich countries and pharmaceutical giants to provide vaccines to most of the world.

By month 25 of the Covid-19 pandemic, we all probably should have learned not to try to anticipate what the SARS-CoV-2 virus is going to do next. It has so consistently defied predictions.

Over half of UK adults over the age of 65 live with two or more long-term health conditions – commonly known as multimorbidity. People living with multimorbidity not only have a shorter life expectancy, but they may also experience poorer physical and mental health.

Researchers published a study proving that SARS-CoV-2 infects human adipose or fat tissue to multiply and elicit an inflammatory response corresponding with severe COVID-19.

Coronavirus loses 90% of its ability to infect us within 20 minutes of becoming airborne – with most of the loss occurring within the first five minutes, the world’s first simulations of how the virus survives in exhaled air suggest. The findings re-emphasise the importance of short-range Covid transmission, with physical distancing and mask-wearing likely to be the most effective means of preventing infection. Ventilation, though still worthwhile, is likely to have a lesser impact.

A sugar additive used in several foods could have helped spread a seriously dangerous superbug around the US, according to a 2018 study.

The US government, and by that we mean "the US public," who mostly funded Moderna's COVID vaccine ... nearly $1billion ... and it was actually US government employees who did a lot of the important work.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was working with law enforcement to investigate the vials.

We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines. Instead, we should respect the right of the bodily integrity of individuals to decide for themselves.

Aspiration before injection of vaccines

Thousands worldwide have taken ivermectin to fight Covid. But what's the evidence?

A new study co-led by Yale School of Public Health faculty has found that natural infection by the virus offers little long-term protection against reinfection.

It’s more evidence a lab leak is very unlikely.

Patients with COVID-19 who have been admitted to the intensive care unit are very likely to experience unusually persistent delirium, according to emerging research.

Hundreds of thousands of people may be infected annually by animals carrying coronaviruses related to the one that causes COVID-19 in China and Southeast Asia, according to a study emphasizing the ongoing pandemic threat from spillover events.

“We identified the probable ‘blood-to-brain pathway’ that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease, the most prevalent form of dementia globally,” said study’s senior author Professor John Mamo, director of the Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute at Curtin University.
