Covid19-Sources

Neither the disease mechanism nor treatments for COVID-19 are currently known. Here, we present a novel molecular mechanism for COVID-19 that provides therapeutic intervention points that can be addressed with existing FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. The entry point for the virus is ACE2, which is a c …

Vulnerable people have encountered ‘shocking discrimination’ during pandemic, says Mencap charity

Abstract Background Assessing safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines in different populations is essential, as is investigation of efficacy against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern including the B.1.351 (501Y.V2) variant first identified in South Africa. Methods We conducted a randomized multicentre, double blinded controlled trial on safety and efficacy of ChAdOx1-nCoV19 in HIV-uninfected people in South Africa. Participants age 18 to 14 days following second dose against laboratory confirmed symptomatic Covid-19. Results 2026 HIV-uninfected adults were enrolled between June 24th ...

Ja, wir haben das ganze Fake-News-Buch "Corona Fehlalarm?" von Bhakdi gelesen, damit ihr es nicht tun müsst. Hier eine "kleine" Auswahl der Fakes, die wir gefunden haben.

Manche glauben wirklich eher, dass die 20-jährige Rechtsextreme Naomi Seibt mehr Ahnung von PCR-Test haben sollte als Dr. Drosten, der den Test für Sars-Cov2 mitentwickelt hat und weltweit angesehener Corona-Experte ist. Wir zerlegen 12 Lügen aus dem Desinformations-Vortrag.

Long-COVID is a postviral illness that can affect survivors of COVID-19, regardless of initial disease severity or age. Symptoms of long-COVID include fatigue, dyspnea, gastrointestinal and cardiac problems, cognitive impairments, myalgia, and others. While the possible causes of long-COVID include long-term tissue damage, viral persistence, and chronic inflammation, the review proposes, perhaps for the first time, that persistent brainstem dysfunction may also be involved. This hypothesis can be split into two parts. The first is the brainstem tropism and damage in COVID-19. As the brainst...

DMZ – GESUNDHEIT / WISSEN ¦ Markus Golla ¦ In England werden laut „The Guardian“ bis zu 100 Kinder pro Woche mit einer seltenen Krankheit ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert, die Wochen nach Covid-19 auftreten kann und sie auf der Intensivstation zurücklässt. Dies berichteten die Ärzte von NHS Einrichtungen. In einem Phänomen, das Kinderärzte beunruhigt, waren 75% der Kinder, die am schlimmsten vom pädiatrischen entzündlichen Multisystem-Syndrom (PIMS) betroffen waren, schwarze, asiatische oder ethnische Minderheiten (BAME). Fast vier von fünf Kindern waren laut einer unveröffentlichten Momentaufn...

Eine heftige zweite Corona-Welle hat Schwedens Plan durchkreuzt, der Pandemie mit massvollen Einschränkungen über längere Zeit zu begegnen. Ein Richtungswechsel ist nötig. Doch ohne kritischen Blick auf die bisherige Strategie ist er kaum zu bewerkstelligen.

Life expectancy is falling in Sweden, which the country’s statistics agency says is directly tied to the coronavirus pandemic.

The downloadable data files contain information about hospitalisation and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission rates and current occupancy for COVID-19 by date and country. Each row contains the corresponding data for a certain date (day or week) and per country. The file is updated weekly. You may use the data in line with ECDC’s copyright policy.

Genetic and antibody clues to a cause of life-threatening illness.

Eine Corona-Infektion scheint auch mit der Blutgruppe zusammenzuhängen. Laut Studie infizieren sich Menschen mit einer bestimmten Blutgruppe häufiger - andere Blutgruppen senken das Infektionsrisiko sogar.

A new epidemiological study shows reduced susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and decreased risk of developing severe symptoms in people aged younger than 20 years, suggesting that children have limited contribution to spread of COVID-19.

Risk of severe COVID-19 is conferred by a genomic segment that is inherited from Neanderthals and is carried by around 50% and 16% of people in south Asia and Europe, respectively.
