Australia has recently seen SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) escape several times from hotel quarantine, including in Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne. These incidents have…
New research provides evidence that people have transmitted SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to cats during the pandemic in the UK. The study, which…
The SARS-CoV-2 virus may enter and replicate in human cells by exploiting newly-identified sequences within cell receptors, according to work from two teams of scientists….
COVID-19 Peaks Reflect Time-Dependent Social Activity, Not Herd Immunity Scientists developed a model showing that a fragile, temporary state of immunity emerged during the early…
Finding does not mean virus can be transmitted via dust. A study done in rooms where COVID-19 patients were isolated shows that the virus’s RNA…
Broad foundation of NIH-funded research for enabling technologies prior to pandemic provided a tool kit for rapid development of COVID vaccines. The unprecedented development of…
Study conducted at BIDMC is among the first to compare the impact of COVID-19 on patients and hospital resources versus the impact of influenza. In…
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, likely does not directly infect the brain but can still inflict significant neurological damage, according to a new study…
COVID-19 could pass into people’s lungs from saliva with the virus moving directly from mouth to bloodstream — particularly if individuals are suffering from gum…
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine shows that wearing two face coverings can nearly double the effectiveness of filtering out SARS-CoV-2-sized particles, preventing them…
But protective effects seen only among women. Taking multivitamins, omega-3, probiotics, or vitamin D supplements may lessen the risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the…
A COVID-19 vaccine that could provide protection against existing and future strains of the COVID-19 coronavirus, and other coronaviruses, and costs about $1 a dose…
We Need Global “Maximum Suppression” At the end of 2020, there was a strong hope that high levels of vaccination would see humanity finally gain…
People who have recovered from COVID-19, especially those with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, may be at risk of developing blood clots due to a lingering and…
Phenotypes I, II, and III show distinct characteristics and show adverse, normal, and favorable clinical outcomes respectively. In a new study, researchers identify three clinical…
