Blood cots may explain brain fog and fatigue among COVID victims--study

Thu, 2023-09-07 11:12 — mike kraft

Study links blood clots to brain fog after Covid

A recent UK study suggests that blood clots in the brain or lungs may explain some of the common symptoms experienced by people with "long Covid", including brain fog and fatigue. The study, which included 1,837 people admitted to hospital due to Covid, found that two blood proteins, fibrinogen and D-dimer, were associated with cognitive problems. It is estimated that 16% of these patients experience difficulties with thinking, concentrating, or remembering for at least six months.

Analysis: Three Covid pandemic lessons that could help global leaders prevent the next pandemic

Wed, 2023-09-06 10:03 — mike kraft
Three lessons from Covid that could help global leaders prevent the next pandemic "If we wanted to, this could be the last pandemic. It's a political choice,” said Joanne Liu, a professor at McGill University’s School of Population and Global Health. Theresa Gaffney STAT

Everyone has things that, looking back, they would have done differently in the early days of 2020, had they known how the Covid-19 pandemic would tear across the globe. But those regrets may be particularly poignant for global leaders whose actions (or lack thereof) had direct impacts on how Covid-19 spread.

Dr Fauci takes issue with study questioning effectiveness of face masks

Tue, 2023-09-05 10:49 — mike kraft

Fauci presented with study challenging effectiveness of masks

In a recent interview on CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, responded to a study that raised doubts about the effectiveness of face masks in curbing the spread of COVID-19. The study in question was released by The Cochrane Institute and received attention earlier this year when it suggested that face masks made little to no difference in preventing the spread of the virus. This led to headlines claiming that masks don't work.

However, Fauci emphasized that there are other studies that show the advantages of wearing masks, particularly at the individual level. ...
