ANALYSIS: Why the coronavirus has changed as it has, and what it means going forward

Sat, 2021-08-21 22:05 — mike kraft
Why the coronavirus changed over time, and what it means going forward We can’t predict the next coronavirus variant. But there are some fundamental principles that explain why the virus has morphed as it has. Andrew Joseph STAT

It’s impossible to say how the coronavirus will continue to evolve. Those changes, after all, are a result of random mutations.

Study indicates that more than one-third of COVID infections are truly asymptomatic, especially among children .

Thu, 2021-08-12 18:56 — mike kraft
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis Asymptomatic infections have been widely reported for COVID-19. However, many studies do not distinguish between the presymptomatic stage and truly asymptomatic infections. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of COVID-19 literature reporting laboratory-confirmed infections to determine the burden of asymptomatic infections and removed index cases from our calculations to avoid conflation. By analyzing over 350 papers, we estimated that more than one-third of infections are truly asymptomatic. We found evidence of greater asymptomaticity in children compared with the elderly, and lower asymptomaticity among cases with comorbidities compared to cases with no underlying medical conditions.

The COVID-19 Symptoms Doctors Are Seeing The Most Right Now Has the delta variant or the coronavirus vaccine changed how patients feel or how sick they're getting? Here's what to know. Catherine Pearson HuffPost

More than a year into the coronavirus pandemic, experts have unraveled so many mysteries about how to treat the virus and prevent it. But at the same time, SARS-CoV-2 is always changing as new variants emerge. And accordingly, the ways in which the virus affects people seem to be shifting as well.
