Thu, 2022-04-07 11:29 — mike kraft

Study reveals how Covid-19 infections can set off massive inflammation in the body From the early days of the pandemic, doctors noticed that in severe cases of Covid-19 -- the ones that landed people in the hospital on ventilators with shredded lungs -- most of the internal wreckage wasn't being directly inflicted by the virus itself but by a blizzard of immune reactions triggered by the body to fight the infection.

Analysis Five ways to increase COVID-19 booster uptake

Thu, 2022-04-07 11:13 — mike kraft

5 ways to increase COVID-19 booster uptake: Analysis Although the Food and Drug Administration recently recommended a second COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for older Americans, the country has had to confront an ongoing struggle -- problems getting initial vaccination series, let alone first booster shots into arms. This may mean more frequent boosters until we are able to develop an annual multiple-part immunization package, having a combined COVID and influenza vaccine, for instance. YahooNews

Discussion of whether home covid tests actually expire

Wed, 2022-04-06 10:22 — mike kraft

Q: Do home Covid tests really expire? I ordered what I was allowed. Now I see they have expiration dates. Some have already expired. What to do? Keep and use, or throw them out?

It’s true that home Covid-19 tests are marked with expiration dates, but the actual expiration for a box of tests can be a moving target. Before throwing away a home test because you think it may have expired, do a little homework first.
