Scientists just found a reason for the exhaustion of long COVID — microscopic clots in the blood. The study was published in the Journal of Medical Virology. Researchers discovered that patients with the condition have nearly twenty times more microscopic blood clots than healthy individuals. Unlike typical clots, these 'microclots' are wrapped in sticky, web-like structures made of DNA and enzymes released by white blood cells. These webs, known as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), act as structural armor, preventing the body from naturally breaking down the clots. This leads to a persistent blockage in the capillaries—the body's smallest blood vessels—which starves tissues of oxygen and drives chronic inflammation. This discovery marks a massive shift in how post-viral illnesses are understood. Historically, many Long COVID patients struggled to find validation because standard blood tests routinely came back normal. By showing that these microscopic clots are structurally bound to NETs, scientists are paving the way for targeted treatments, such as therapies designed to dissolve these persistent blocks. It also offers a glimmer of hope for millions suffering from other poorly understood chronic conditions, such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), where similar microclotting patterns have been observed. source: Thierry, A.

Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients. Journal of Medical Virology, 97(10), e70613.

"Brain Scans of 24 People With Long COVID Reveal Signs of Injury to Dopamine Neurons" A small Canadian study of 24 people with Long COVID found signs that dopamine-releasing neurons may be damaged. Those with bigger changes had worse memory, slower movement and less motivation.
A link preview card from the ScienceAlert website featuring an article about neurological research. The top portion features a monochromatic blue-and-white sagittal MRI scan of a human brain, showcasing a detailed profile view of the skull's internal structures, brain tissue, and nasal cavity. Below the scan, the bold black headline reads: "Brain Scans of 24 People With Long COVID Reveal Signs of Injury to Dopamine Neurons." Underneath, the summary text states: "Scientists have discovered a distinct change in the brains of people with long COVID that might explain some of the illness's most debilitating symptoms."

Absolutely Transmission mitigations put in place to protect children from being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus had a dramatic effect on curtailing infection with other airborne viruses like RSV and influenza We learned what worked (ventilation, masking, distancing) and then forgot it immediately

COVID-19 hat eine neue hoch ansteckende Variante. Bitte verbreiten Sie es weiter. Linnemann, der aktuelle Bundesgesundheitsminister, scheint es nämlich nicht verstanden zu haben, was das bedeutet, dass in den USA und Japan die Wellen aktuell höher sind als je zuvor in der Pandemie. Besorgen Sie sich irgendwie den neuen Impfstoff, wenn Sie dran kommen, was gar nicht leicht ist, weil Linnemann darauf besteht, dass zuerst der alte Impfstoff, gegen frühere Varianten, verimpft werden soll. Wir hatten noch nie einen Bundesgesundheitsminister, der den Grippeimpfstoff vom Vorjahr noch aufbrauchen lasse wollte, obwohl es einen neuen Impfstoff gegen die neue Grippevariante gab. Der ehemalige Hilfsarbeiter im Buchladen seiner Eltern hätte dort vielleicht einmal in einige Biologiebücher sehen sollen, bevor er Bundesgesundheitsminister werden wollte.
