Absence of proof isn't proof of safety. In infection prevention, waiting for 100% certainty can cost lives. Here's why the precautionary principle should guide how we protect NHS staff and patients from airborne risk. Read more shh-uk.org/the-preca... #SHHUK #IPC #NHS
Digestive symptoms are a key part of Long Covid and can significantly impact daily life. New research highlights gut-related symptoms, possible causes (inflammation, microbiome changes), and emerging treatments. Read the full research summary on our website: shh-uk.org/long-covi...
If we knew for certain an infection could spread through the air, we'd act immediately. So why do we wait for certainty when the risk is only plausible? The precautionary principle exists for exactly this gap, protecting people before proof arrives, not after. Read more here shh-uk.org/the-preca...

Denis - The COVID Info Guy@thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 3w agoJapanese researchers linked Long COVID to a dormant herpes virus reactivated by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This process triggers production of the SITH-1 protein, which was identified in about 70% of patients. The SITH-1 protein may contribute directly to brain dysfunction, fatigue, and depression.

1) A new randomized trial in Long Covid patients tested Temelimab, a drug that targets a potentially pathogenic protein (HERV-W ENV) from endogenous retroviruses. Unfortunately, the results are pretty clear: Temelimab had no beneficial effect.
