Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses (more than 90 different types), and we're only just beginning to understand their true diversity. As our understanding grows, we will learn more about these viruses and develop better ways to prevent or treat coronavirus infections in humans.

Ivermectin appeared to work in areas with strongyloidiasis, because dexamethasone (covid treatment) caused over growth in strongyloidiasis, which is deadly, but ivermectin killed the strongyloidiasis (which it is made to do), so it seemed it was helping covid, but it wasn't.

"Two hundred and forty thousand! That was an inconceivable amount of death. Four times the number of Americans who died in Vietnam. Eighty times the number who died in the 9/11 attacks.

“As sobering a number as that is, we should be prepared for it,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert. Trump added that there was “light at the end of the tunnel” if we behaved as we should, but that “we’re going to go through a very tough two weeks.”

Today, two years later, we all know how that worked out. We didn’t behave as we should. We didn’t see the light after two weeks. And we didn’t have 100,000 deaths, or 240,000 deaths either.

Instead, we’re now closing in on 1 million deaths. As of Sunday, total U.S. COVID deaths were at 986,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with 400 more Americans dying each day."

The good news is that I can get my second booster next week at my local Publix. I miss counted the time from my first booster. Because of my age and multiple health issues, I want to get it asap. Can't be too careful at my age.

"Until now, scientists had been reassured that people who survived the first Omicron variant over the winter, BA.1, were unlikely to be reinfected by the even more infectious subvariant BA.2, which is now dominant nationwide.

BA.2.12.1 is estimated to be 25% more transmissible than BA.2."

New coronavirus variants emerge: BA.4, BA.5 likely reinfecting Omicron survivors:

Cognitive Impact of Severe COVID Is Equivalent to 20 Years of Aging, Study Finds
Quote:
In a study comparing 46 severe COVID-19 patients with 460 matched controls, researchers found the mental impacts of severe COVID-19 six months later can be the equivalent to aging 20 years – going from 50 to 70 years old – or losing 10 IQ points.

The specific mental changes were also distinct to those seen in early dementia or general aging.

"The coronavirus variant that is now dominant in the United States is a member of the Omicron family, but scientists say it spreads faster than its Omicron predecessors, is adept at escaping immunity and might possibly cause more serious disease.

Why? Because it combines properties of both Omicron and Delta, the nation’s dominant variant in the middle of last year.

A genetic trait that harks back to the pandemic’s past, known as a Delta mutation, appears to allow the virus “to escape preexisting immunity from vaccination and prior infection, especially if you were infected in the Omicron wave,” said Dr. Wesley Long, a pathologist at Houston Methodist in Texas. That’s because the original Omicron strain that swept the world didn’t have the mutation.

The Omicron subvariant gaining ground in the U.S. — known as BA.2.12.1 and responsible for 58% of U.S. COVID-19 cases last week — isn’t the only one affected by the Delta mutation..."


The Omicron subvariant spreading across the U.S. shares an ominous trait with Delta:
