Yesterday, Swedish TV
This is one of the silliest statements of the pandemic here in Sweden. Johan Styrud, chief physician, claims that we have such a severe flu season because Sweden has been locked down for 5 years.
Where are the follow-up questions?

Tråkigt att Petter Brodin

- gör reklam för återinfektioner till en patientgrupp som tenderar att försämras av sådana

'I was an infectious disease nurse, I've never seen a crisis like the quad-demic'
A retired infection control nurse says she has never known a situation in hospitals where four viruses are rife at such high levels

"It should help raise awareness in the community of the importance of reducing rates of re-infection. It is not just your first infection, but each subsequent COVID infection carries a risk of long COVID."

"The notion of “long infection” as a contributor or even the driver of long COVID is a powerful message. It could help demystify the condition in the eyes of the wider community and increase awareness among the general public as well as medical professionals."

"Our study shows that what you breathe in can cause infection in a very short time, and you don’t need to get a shower of a sneeze directly at you, a meeting in the same room is enough," says Malin Alsved.

"Aerosols are small airborne particles, and exhaled aerosols from a single person can transmit #COVID infection to others within minutes under normal indoor conditions," says Malin Alsved, lead researcher for the study, the results of which have been published in Scientific Reports.

Demands:
1. That respiratory protection (FFP2/FFP3/N95/N99) be made mandatory in healthcare and social care, just as hand hygiene is today, to ensure patient safety for all.
2. That schools and other public buildings be guaranteed the same high standard of air quality that politicians have already arranged for themselves with tax money.
3. That COVID-19 vaccines be made fully available to all age groups for whom the vaccines are approved.
4. Adequate care and biomedical research for Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other infection-associated chronic conditions.
5. Honest, scientifically sound public education about the risks of infection and how best to protect each other.

Photo of a page of a newspaper showing the headline “one in three say COVID-19 response overblown: poll”
The article describes dozens of opinions on the overreach and overreaction of the response and mentions 50% thought it was appropriate and another 13% did not think it was overblown.
In other words, a supermajority of two thirds do not say Covid-19 response was overblown.
The role of media ladies and gentlemen.

Trumps utnämningar fruktas ge ”enorma” dödstal vid en ny pandemi
Robert Kennedy Jr och många andra som Donald Trump har nominerat till sitt ”medicinska team” är skeptiska till vaccin och tonade ner riskerna med covid.
Och nu skriver DN om GBD-gänget men utan att nämna de svenska kopplingarna, fortsatt rätt underlig journalistik. Arrangören av konferensen tidigare i höstas JB lyfts dock fram men GBD nämns ej vid namn. AT lyser med sin frånvaro, och MK, JL mfl. www.dn.se/varlden/trum...

Plasma-based antigen persistence in the post-acute phase of COVID-19
Persistent symptoms among some individuals who develop COVID-19 have led to the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 might, in some form or location, persist for long periods following acute infection.1,2 Studies on SARS-CoV-2 persistence to date, however, have been limited by small and non-representative study populations, short durations since acute infection, unclear documentation of vaccination and reinfection histories, and the absence of a true negative comparator group to assess assay specificity (appendix p 2).
#MedSky #IDSky #LongCovid
“Our data provide strong evidence that #SARSCoV2, in some form or location, persists for up to 14m following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.”
Odds of persistence 2x ⬆️ in hospitalized. Also ⬆️ in those w/ 👎 self-reported health w/ #COVID19.
