Finland's epidemic 23 Dec 2025: amount of virus in wastewater appears to have risen above the first Omicron wave. Post-Omicron baseline is permanently higher than pre-Omicron; repeated waves are showing no diminishing.

Covid is not "just a cold"
Study finds that despite broad COVID vaccine availability, COVID still deadlier than #flu in hospitalized patients
A #COVID diagnosis was associated with 76% higher odds of death within 30 days.

We analysed 546 species of ant to understand how extreme specialisation into reproductive and non-reproductive roles evolved.

Remember there is no reason for alarm. You can easily protect yourself with a well-fitted respirator. Back it up with air filtration and vaccination.

“Jiang and colleagues conclude, carefully but clearly, that their findings ‘redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise’ and highlight lymphocyte dysregulation as a key immunological feature of Long Covid, particularly in people with cardiovascular disease.”
SARS-CoV-2 Leaves a Lasting Mark on the Immune System
A landmark new study shows COVID-19 isn’t ‘just a cold’: One infection left people with long-lasting immune damage, and those with heart disease lost up to 70% of key immune cells. Reinfections may wo...

The greater risk of heart inflammation to children comes from
COVID itself, by a considerable amount and it’s sadly far from the only health risk from
COVID. Why isn’t our health secretary saying this? Some of the media has been alarmist on vaccines.

A recent scientific paper explored the impact of mass SARS-CoV-2 infections on Lymphocytes (crucial to the body’s immune system).
I noticed the authors had shared the data behind their charts in the Appendix Supplementary materials, so I built a quick dataviz project to explore.
