A new study shows that among people hospitalized with COVID19, other viruses such as EBV, HSV1, and CMV may be reactivated. This effect isn’t limited to those who are immunocompromised, either. So if you’re wondering why I’m still masking indoors in public, have a read.

COVID can wake up a slew of dormant viruses inside you

Reactivation of typically harmless anelloviruses, in particular, seems to be linked with developing long COVID, study finds.

A study of 13,880 working-age U.S. adults found those with Long COVID reported lower life satisfaction, happiness and hopefulness. The gap widened as symptoms increased. Long COVID was also more common in women, affecting 43.2% compared with 34.4% of men. #LongCOVID

Feeling a bit vexed today, reading of a large outbreak of viral pink eye at St. Joseph's in Hamilton. By vexed, I really mean livid. Why? To begin with, the reporting was not well done, taking a "these things happen" tone in a case of serious negligence. 1/4 www.thestar.com/news/gta/out...

Some patients impacted by Stoney Creek pink eye outbreak were notified seven weeks after infection

St. Joe’s apologizes for the delay as the number of cases rises to 92; the outbreak has been declared over.

I should have pointed out this particular product when I talked about HEPA filters. Small local Toronto business. Entirely quiet devices. Like crazy quiet. Uses standard furnace filters. I have three of them in my house, in the larger common rooms. (Plus a small Levoit unit in every bedroom).
