Doctors found another strange coronavirus symptom no one can explain | BGR
Some of the people infected with the novel coronavirus who survive COVID-19 will then experience persistent symptoms for weeks or even months after the illness, in what’s known as “Long COVID.”#science #medicine #health #Covid-19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic
Doctors are still trying to understand the lingering symptoms, with the Westchester Medical Center in New York running a treatment and study program for long haulers.
Now, a new report explains another strange coronavirus symptom that can appear with Long COVID: Some people have experienced skin peeling off their hands and a strange purple discoloration in their fingers.

Good News
The Oxford Covid-19 vaccine has been approved and will be introduced next week. Because it does not need to be kept at very low temperatures it will be easier to transport and keep. By the time I qualify for a vaccine I think that this one will be for me.

The war on prevention II: Battle metaphors undermine cancer treatment and prevention and do not increase vigilance
Author: David Hause
Abstract
Bellicose metaphors for cancer are ubiquitous. But are they good metaphors for health communicators to use? Because metaphors can guide reasoning about abstract concepts, framing cancer with metaphors of battle, war, and enemies leads people to apply attributes of these concepts to cancer. The current research investigates how this affects inferences about cancer treatment, prevention, and monitoring. Battles and war are usually seen as being difficult. Indeed, reading about a person’s “battle” or “fight” against cancer makes cancer treatment seem more difficult (studies 1-4). One way to approach a battle is to surrender and give up control. Consistent with this implication, battle metaphors increase fatalistic beliefs about cancer prevention (e.g., believing that there is little one can do to prevent getting cancer; study 3). Finally, even though battles invoke vigilance and action, Study 4 failed to find that such metaphors motivate people to immediately see their doctor when imagining a cancer scare. These findings suggest that bellicose metaphors for cancer can influence the health beliefs of nonpatients in ways that may make them less willing to enact healthy behaviors.

The FDA just approved the first coronavirus drug – but this new medicine might be even better | BGR
Very interesting.Researchers tested a cancer drug called plitidepsin as a coronavirus therapy and discovered it can block the virus’s ability to replicate.https://bgr.com/2020/10/25/coronavirus-treatment-plitidepsin-cancer-drug-spain-trial/
The use of plitidepsin reduced viral loads after just seven days and improved blood test markers for inflammation.
Nearly 40% of a limited group of patients who received various doses of plitidepsin were discharged after just eight days in the hospital.

Cloth face masks still provide a major protective benefit: They filter out a majority of viral particles.So wear the fcking mask!
As it turns out, that’s pretty important. Breathing in a small amount of virus may lead to no disease or a more mild infection. But inhaling a huge volume of virus particles can result in serious disease or death.
Skeptics say: Why wear masks if they don't filter out all coronavirus? Scientists say: Because it could mean less severe illness.www.latimes.com

Coronavirus came to UK 'on at least 1,300 separate occasions' | BBC News
Coronavirus was brought into the UK on at least 1,300 separate occasions, a major analysis of the genetics of the virus shows.#science #medicine #health #Covid-19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic
The study, by the Covid-19 Genomics UK consortium (Cog-UK), completely quashes the idea that a single "patient zero" started the whole UK outbreak.
The analysis also finds China, where the pandemic started, had a negligible impact on cases in the UK.
Instead those initial cases came mostly from European countries.Coronavirus came to UK 'at least 1,300 times'
There was no one 'patient zero' that started the UK epidemic, research shows.www.bbc.co.uk
