A good collation of articles supporting zoonotic origin of SARS COV2. The latest preprint on animal swab genomic sequence came from George Gao😉.

Persistent cytokine elevation up to 1 year normalizing at 2 years in unvaccinated COVID survivors associated with severe COVID. Elevated HGF, VEGF-A, eotaxin, MIP-1 beta, SDF-1 alpha and IP-10 in acute infection predicted those with persistence. #longCOVID onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jm…

Even in highly vaccinated and boosted population >60 years, Paxlovid reduced risk of hospitalisation from milder BA2, BA5 and XBB. clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-…

Bivalent Omicron mRNA vaccine reduced medical attendance and hospitalisation vs monovalent as 2nd booster in >18 years with 3 mRNA in Singapore during Omicron. No immune imprinting seen. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Optimising antibiotic use to combat antibiotic resistance starts from right clinical diagnosis followed by right microbiology tests to guide antibiotic use. Feel free to share and use this e-learning module to teach medical students, doctors and any prescribers.

104,179 Delta and 375,903 Omicron cases. Higher risk of cognition/memory disorders reported in Omicron and Delta. Delta-variant —> increased anosmia/dysgeusia and psychosis. Omicron-variant —> abnormal involuntary movements. Risk in hospital COVID. clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-…
