Question for the extroverts who are still masking:
What things are you doing to form bonds with people and connect while being safe? What is working for you?

I run games online and have met with friends at concerts where my wife and I are masked. It’s still hard. I’ve also tried outside group activities like run clubs, but then they want to go get pizza together and I don’t want to be eating inside. I’d love to meet people with similar attitudes about Covid. I tried CovidMeetup.com but I wasn’t making a lot of connections. I’d love to hear what you all do.

Please boost if you can.

“HHS Director of Communications Andrew Nixon said in a statement. ‘HHS is prioritizing funding projects that will deliver on President Trump’s mandate to address our chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again.’”

(I wonder if he has heard of long COVID?)

Another travesty:

"Our #NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today.

We'd developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid +we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own 2nd-gen inhibitor.

Part of a complete elimin of COVID-related research, incl. #LongCOVID.

The rationale given is that the pandemic is over.

Ppl are dying of #COVID at several times the rate of flu +still getting long COVID."

Most interesting detail: "we detected the virus passing from one sinus at the peak of infection to the other a few days later"

Model animals: "cynomolgus macaques"

They also evaluated "two convalescent animals [...] exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant three months prior" and found "no major uptake by the nasal cavity" but "detection of the PET signal for SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen up to three months post initial infection in the lungs and brains"

"local accumulation [...] in areas of the brain [...] consistent with previous findings of neuroinflammation in humans infected with SARS-CoV-2 and in rhesus macaques up to six weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The localized crossing of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by the radiotracer in convalescent animals can be explained by thrombo-inflammation previously reported in patients with active long-COVID."

NatureWhole-body visualization of SARS-CoV-2 biodistribution in vivo by immunoPET imaging in non-human primates - Nature CommunicationsThere are limited approaches to monitor virus spread in vivo. Here, the authors report PET/CT-based in vivo imaging to track SARS-CoV-2 biodistribution in a COVID-19 non-human primate model using a radiolabeled human antibody revealing persistent detection in the lung and brain 3 months after infection.

“We did the not-sexy, behind-the-scenes work that it takes to make the federal government function well...We made sure doctors at the VA are talking to scientists and researchers and epidemiologists at CDC and NIH — that they’re learning from each other. It was a very, very cost effective way to make sure that people are talking to each other and that we’re making the best use of federal resources.”
