This type of reporting will boost vaccine administration – unfortunately this is anecdotal – Coronavirus vaccines may reduce or eliminate symptoms of long covid | New Scientist
“Some people with long covid, in which individuals have long-lasting symptoms after a covid-19 infection, are reporting improvements in their health after being vaccinated against the coronavirus. The reports are based on anecdotes and a small, informal survey rather than a scientific study, but the trend might offer clues to what causes the persistent symptoms.”
Countering the CDC conclusion Japan super computer says more than 1 mask is a marginal improvement (still improvement) – https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN2AX0BA?
“Japanese supercomputer simulations showed that wearing two masks gave limited benefit in blocking viral spread compared with one properly fitted mask.
The findings in part contradict recent recommendations from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that two masks were better than one at reducing a person’s exposure to the coronavirus.”
I think China visits may be going down. Perhaps another way to close borders without closing borders – https://nypost.com/2021/03/03/china-makes-covid-19-anal-swabs-mandatory-for-foreigners/amp/?
“China has made anal COVID-19 swabs mandatory for all foreign travelers arriving in the country, a report said Wednesday.
The government has claimed that such tests provide a higher degree of accuracy than other screening methods for the virus, the Times UK reported.
As part of the new travel requirement, there will be testing hubs in Beijing and Shanghai airports, the outlet reported.
Li Tongzeng, a respiratory disease medic, said the anal swabs are better because virus traces stay in fecal samples longer than they do in the nose or throat, state media reported.
The move comes after Japan asked China to stop performing the exams on its citizens when they enter the country because the swabs cause mental anguish.”
