👏 Bravo to the Netherlands! Higher CO2 levels often mean poor ventilation, which can boost the risk of -19 and other viruses. It's time for every classroom around the world to have a CO2 monitor.
C02 monitors are mandatory in all Dutch classrooms.

Effectiveness of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir in children and adolescents aged 12–17 years following SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection: A target trial emulation
: Paxlovid on over 49k children with covid-19, non-hospitalized
Paxlovid treatment was associated with reduced 28 day all-cause hospitalization (absolute risk reduction = 0.23%, 95%CI = 0.19%–0.31%; relative risk = 0.66, 95%CI = 0.56–0.71).
No events of mortality, in-hospital disease progression, or adverse clinical outcomes were observed among paxlovid users.
Molecular mimicry in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
“Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe, post-infectious sequela of SARS-CoV-2 infection1,2, yet the pathophysiological mechanism connecting the infection to the broad inflammatory syndrome remains unknown. Here we leveraged a large set of samples from patients with MIS-C to identify a distinct set of host proteins targeted by patient autoantibodies including a particular autoreactive epitope within SNX8, a protein involved in regulating an antiviral pathway associated with MIS-C”
