Important discovery related to LongCovid: Fragments of SARS-CoV-2 virus can reassemble into "zombie" complexes (XenoAMP-dsDNA) and induce a major and sustained immune response, affecting healthy, uninfected cells, not seen with common cold coronaviruses
How does Covid lead to high blood sugars, which occurs even in people without diabetes?
The virus can infect and replicate in liver cells --> stimulates glucose production
Humidity (indoor, relative) is associated with outcomes of Covid infections, a population-based study in 121 countries
