Posts mislead on study of mask effectiveness for Covid-19
Coronavirus skeptics are claiming a large-scale review of public health interventions proves that masks are useless against Covid-19. This is misleading; the Cochrane Library's editor-in-chief said these interpretations of the analysis are "inaccurate," and medical experts say other research shows face coverings offer some individual protection.

Early childhood lower respiratory tract infection and premature adult death from respiratory disease in Great Britain: a national birth cohort study
In this prospective, life-spanning, nationally representative cohort study, LRTI during early childhood was associated with almost a two times increased risk of premature adult death from respiratory disease, and accounted for one-fifth of these deaths.

Counting the neurological cost of COVID-19
Counting the neurological cost of COVID-19
The neurological deficits caused by COVID-19, which were first reported in the early months of 2020, continue to intrigue neurologists and health-care professionals worldwide. As two new studies highlight, these manifestations are frequent and are expected to increase the burden of morbidity and mortality in the acute and chronic phases of COVID-19.

Neuropathology and virus in brain of SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates
Neuropathology and virus in brain of SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates
COVID-19 can result in neurological manifestations and animal models could provide insights into the mechanisms. Here, the authors describe neuroinflammation, microhemorrhages and brain hypoxia in SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates, including in animals that don’t develop severe respiratory disease.
