2 quick notes on the state of chronic-infection SARS-CoV-2 seqs
#1) ~3 years after its peak, BA.1 is still showing up in nasal swab seqs—despite reduced surveillance—most recently a mid-late Dec BA.1 from Nebraska.
#2) Chronic JN.1 seqs now more common, many with one very peculiar mutation

Does #randomization ensures balance of risk factors between groups? Consider this:
In Denmark 860 individuals were randomly allocated to either intervention or control. Individuals were unaware of their allocation. No intervention took place. Mortality was higher in the intervention group (p=0.003)
