I wonder about the latter point myself. If they had just one patient proof-read such documents, they would be written very differently.
"SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells exhibit phenotypic features of robust helper function, lack of terminal differentiation, and high proliferative...
Given that it was for a single day, I doubt it is generalisable. It's easy to report accurately for a day, but it might become tiresome after the...
Wow, okay... But then again, by linking that here, you've probably doubled the number of people who will actually read it. ;) It's funny how FOIs...
Who knows, unless they provide more details. They state that it is based on 1344 samples, but compared to what? Were these in-vitro controls?...
The claim is either that they aren't experiencing fatigue (in which case, I'd expect their problems to be lung-related in patients who required...
I don't really know that much and don't have the energy to explain much. I'm not sure what needs explaining either. A key point is that these are...
For the level of detail similar to this study, this involves invasive testing: biopsies. MRI scanning can reveal some information about a...
It all depends on what we mean by severe. Being unable to work is considered "severe" for most illnesses, but "moderate" in ME and CFS. What we...
There is an initial drop, because the high level of antibodies secreted due to stimulation during the initial acute infection phase is no longer...
This is interesting, but still "suggestive" quality evidence. Viruses need selective pressures to mutate, perhaps social distancing measures are...
I doubt it. Usually variant strains with mutations in key epitope regions occur once there is strong immunological pressure, basically once a...
While this study has interesting methodology, it is a pilot study and thus not generalisable. 11 patients and 2970 proteins in the...
Even if the hypothetically becomes totally hidden, there are memory B cells that divide over time and mature into antibody secreting plasma-cells,...
The key point is that muscular capillary function is not controlled by central nerves like Arteries and veins, but regulated locally to maintain a...
No. Regardless of whether the immune system thinks the bug is gone or not, there will still be IgG floating around (in circulation) due to the...
Not yet. But the serological tests have around a 90% sensitivity several months down the track. This can be due to, but isn't necessarily due to a...
This model has far too many unverified assumptions to be any more than suggestive. Other models could just have likely predicted or assumed more...
Yes, but this bit still grates for me: There is much we do know, from research on SARS-1, ME and other post-viral illnesses, yet almost everyone...
Pleasantly surprised by those replies, Arvind Joshi in particular...
