Updated with a questions view to more easily group studies based on topics:

covid-studies.org?view=questions

Added tagging and more studies but could use help adding even more studies and curating!

Braindumped covid software projects, websites/initiatives/mitigation tools such as co2 trackers, air filter products, iaq measuring tools, wastewater scanners if anyone has links I missed let me know:

covid-list.org

Thank you for your work!

Is there any collaboration between the University of Valencia who are working on a resonant sensor for direct detection of airborne viruses?

Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome Large study suggests people’s genetics could ‘tip the balance’ on whether they would develop the illness

As of Today the indoorco2map.com App is out of beta and available as regular Version in the Android and Apple app store. This is a big milestone, yet only still the beginning of a long road ahead to put indoor air quality both figuratively and literally on the map. Thanks a lot to all testers!

Support David Esteban's study on Microbial Metabolites in Long COVID * Heads up: Zeffy has a default "tip" of 17% that goes to them, but it's not required. When you go to donate, you can select the dropdown under "Help keep Zeffy free for Renegade Research" and put in ...

Hey y’all—David Esteban’s @patientled.bsky.social funded Long Covid study has hit a snag just before the finish line—the cost to process samples went up. They’ve collected 43 but now can only run 20. $7000 would cover the rest!

Thanks so much for giving or boosting!

3 years ago I joined a panel of patients to determine how to allocate $4.8 million to Long COVID, ME/CFS, & dysautonomia research (the @patientled.bsky.social research fund).

It was an amazing experience working with patients like @ahandvanish.bsky.social @themegascope.bsky.social & many more.

YouTube video by Home Performance DIY Test for Home Ventilation: Simple CO2 Tracking Process by Al Haddrell

This is neat! My video on how to use a CO2 monitor to measure ventilation has been reviewed by a YouTube channel dedicated to home performance. It's really good, and they bring up a few points I missed. Check it out:

And it's still down..

Thank you @haroula-baliaka.bsky.social @paulowennberg.bsky.social for your work

Airborne Lead and Chlorine Levels Soared as L.A. Wildfires Raged The findings give new insight into the dangers of urban wildfires that burn plastics and other chemicals in homes and property.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Environmental Impacts of Fires at the Wildland-Urban Interface. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. How do scientists measure air quality, and what do we know about the air in greater Los Angeles following the January fires? Join experts from Caltech, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the U...

Had an enjoyable conversation with Daniella (www.publichealthisdead.com) this afternoon. We chatted about the challenges around discussing public health in 2025 (specifically airborne disease transmission).

Check out her podcast, it’s both timely and brilliant.

Labcorp Launches H5 Bird Flu Test in the U.S., Now Available for Order through Physicians /PRNewswire/ -- Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, announced today the commercial availability of its new...

Labcorp now has an H5N1 test. You still need a doctor to order the test, but hopefully this will help with access www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

In response to the ongoing H5 bird flu outbreak and its evolving implications, Labcorp announced today the nationwide availability of its new H5 bird flu test in the U.S., now accessible to physicians nationwide. Labcorp’s H5 bird flu test uses PCR technology to detect H5 virus genetic material in human samples, providing a critical tool for healthcare providers as they assess patients with suspected exposure.

Labcorp can now test for the H5N1 bird flu. It seems Quest can, too, based on details of a CA case. It shouldn't take 8 months to involve our diagnostics sector. But better late than never.

From a Labcorp email:

We call this one “Borrelia touched a nerve”. You're seeing a cluster of Borrelia burgdorferi, adipose cells, and a nerve.

We call this one under attack. You're seeing Borrelia burgdorferi, inside the body, surrounded by immune cells.

The never before seen Borrelia burgdorferi caught in the act of making trouble in our mouse model of borrelia infection-associated chronic illness. I feel so grateful to get to collaborate with Kunzan Liu (who took these sunning images), and Sixian You who makes the invisible visible.

Thanks! We also have a discord if you're interested!

Was thinking first of their kind based on topic for uniqueness to highlight when evidence first appeared.. also if further studies (say the same topic) that were larger/ better designed studies came through, open to collaboration and discussion on criteria and tagging (i.e true breakthrough ones)

Very good question outside of my wheelhouse but I'll see if I can reach out to get an answer (unless someone replies here)

*Looking for volunteers!* I along with the help of a few others are building a Mask Recommender Based on Facial Features. TLDR: Goal: scan a face with a phone to get accurate facial measurements, and get a list of masks that have high probability of fitting that individual's face.

@edderic.bsky.social 's www.breathesafe.xyz#/ lets you estimate risk based on many variables including one/two way masking, # of attendees, venue size. I think theres another similar idea in the works too but good point on sources - it does show the formula based on the wells riley model though

Thanks - @immunofever.bsky.social pointed out maybe users want a reverse sort by date so gonna add that and if you have any ideas/requests let me know!

The mindmap view has lots of room for progress and the others could use a lot more polish, besides things like qa of data/add metadata on studies

Announcing covid-studies.org - there are 3 modes - normal, timeline and a mindmap mode.

Collaboration with @mildtin.bsky.social / @jasongale.bsky.social and others. Would appreciate any input / studies and topics that we may be missing.

Plan to make spinoffs for other related topics too.
