Babies. Risk. What are we doing to future generations? A thread and discussion
High levels of gliosis occur in the neonatal brain within a week after in utero infection, and macrosomia is seen in infected pups. COVID-19 infection in pregnant hACE2-KI mice replicates infection severity and effects seen in pregnant women.
