High‐Dimensional Immunophenotyping of Post‐COVID‐19 and Post‐Influenza Patients Reveals Persistent and Specific Immune Signatures After Acute Respiratory Infection
Long-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown since recovered individuals can experience symptoms and latent viral reactivation for months. Indeed, acute post-infection sequelae have als....

“COVID is a real problem that poses risk to the mom in pregnancy and to the child,” she said. “And it’s still worth preventing, even at this point.”
Scientists studied thousands of children born March 2020-May 2021.
Out of 800+ mothers diagnosed with COVID-19, 16.3% of their babies received a neurodevelopmental diagnosis by 3 years old, compared with 9.7% who weren’t exposed to COVID-19 in utero.

Spain may bring back indoor face mask rules as flu and COVID cases surge. Health leaders will meet on Dec 3 to decide whether masks should again be required in hospitals, health centers, and possibly other crowded indoor venues like cinemas or theatres to help reduce transmission.

Fantastic analysis showing the persistence of excess COVID deaths. That there would be excess is obvious, as with COVID we have added another disease that kills people, but it's good to see this is confirmed empirically.
I’ve added an Excess Deaths Comparison page to my analysis on that topic. Here I’m comparing the UK, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand, to June 2025.
My method projects "Expected Deaths" using a linear regression on the weekly deaths (4-week average) from a baseline of 2015-2019 deaths.
