According to Study, Fitness of Former COVID Patients Aged 45 is Similar to 80-Year-Olds
A study of recovered COVID-19 patients, aged 45 on average, finds their physical fitness levels to be similar to 80-year-olds. The research is conducted by the Beilinson Medical Center in central Israel, in its physiotherapy center, on 30 patients, three months after they were officially cleared of the disease. In one test, the recovered patients were asked to walk for … Continue reading
Study Strongly Suggests Covid-19 Virus Enters the Brain & May Be an Autoimmune Disease
A new study by Yale University has found that critical Covid-19 patients disproportionately possess so-called ‘autoantibodies’ that weaponize their immune systems against them, making their condition far worse. Researchers used an advanced screening technique on 170 hospitalized patients to detect “autoantibodies” that inflict collateral damage on the patient by attacking their own organs and immune system as opposed to targeting … Continue reading
Study Indicates Coronavirus Was Circulating in Italy Since September 2019
Giselda Vagnoni Reuters The new coronavirus was circulating in Italy since September 2019, a study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) of the Italian city of Milan shows, signaling that COVID-19 might have spread beyond China earlier than previously thought. The World Health Organization has said the new coronavirus and COVID-19, the respiratory disease it causes, were unknown before the … Continue reading
Coronavirus Antibodies Fade After Initial Wave, Casting Doubt over Immunity Hopes – UK Study
New research has found that coronavirus antibodies drop substantially over a short period following the initial wave of infection, casting yet more doubt over the possibility of herd immunity. A major study led by Imperial College London, involving 365,000 participants in England and conducted between 20 June and 28 September, showed the number of people testing positive for antibodies fell … Continue reading
We Will Have to Live With Coronavirus for ‘Evermore,’ – UK Expert on Govt’s Advisory Committee
John Edmunds, a British epidemiologist on the government’s Covid-19 advisory committee, warned UK lawmakers that there is very little chance of the coronavirus being eliminated. He said vaccines could slow its spread, however. “We are going to have to live with this virus for evermore. There is very little chance that it’s going to become eradicated,” Edmunds, a member of … Continue reading
Moderate to Severe COVID-19 Infections May Reduce Fertility in Men – Study
Israeli researchers have found that some men infected with the COVID-19 novel coronavirus may experience reduced fertility. A new study led by Dr. Dan Aderka, head of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Service at Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, Israel, detected the virus in the sperm of some 13% of screened male COVID-19 patients. Researchers also detected a 50% decline in … Continue reading
SARS-COV-2 Growing More Infectious According to Machine-Learning Model
Adrian De Novato Phys.org A novel machine learning model developed by researchers at Michigan State University suggests that mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 genome have made the virus more infectious. The model, developed by lead researcher Guowei Wei, professor in the departments of Mathematics and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, analyzed SARS-CoV-2 genotyping from more than 20,000 viral genome samples. The researchers … Continue reading
Neurologists Warns of Potential Serious Brain Disorders in People with Mild Coronavirus Symptoms
Doctors may be missing signs of serious and potentially fatal brain disorders triggered by coronavirus, as they emerge in mildly affected or recovering patients, scientists have warned. Neurologists are today publishing details of more than 40 UK Covid-19 patients whose complications ranged from brain inflammation and delirium to nerve damage and stroke. In some cases the neurological problem was the … Continue reading
Coronavirus Causes Infected Cells to Sprout ‘Sinister’ Tentacles to Quickly Travel the Body
The new coronavirus’ reputation for messing with scientists’ assumptions has taken a truly creepy turn. Researchers exploring the interaction between the coronavirus and its hosts have discovered that when the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects a human cell, it sets off a ghoulish transformation. Obeying instructions from the virus, the newly infected cell sprouts multi-pronged tentacles studded with viral particles. These disfigured … Continue reading
