Twitter scraping tool reveals an “infodemic” of misinformation during the first year of COVID pandemic

More than 225,000 tweets with the hashtags #scamdemic and #plandemic led to an "infodemic" of misinformation and disinformation on Twitter during the first year of the pandemic, according to a study by UT Southwestern researchers published in PLOS ONE.

Higher suPAR levels linked with increased risk of blood clot formation

Blood clots are thought to occur in as many as a third of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. In many cases these clots can be deadly, such as pulmonary embolisms - blood clots that travel to the lungs. In fact, in nearly one third of patients with COVID-19, these clots led to death.

Disease progression in the rhesus macaque model upon inoculation with the Delta, Omicron BA.1, and Omicron BA.2 variants

Researchers compared the severity levels of disease caused by different SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in the rhesus macaque model.

Hybrid immunity retained six months after SARS-CoV-2 exposure

Scientists hypothesize that lower death rates in COVID-19 patients may be due to hybrid immunity, as well as the reduced severity of Omicron infections.

Persistent viral infections within hosts cause post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, research shows

A research team, comprised of Associate Professor Tomonari Sumi of the Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science at Okayama University and Associate Professor Kouji Harada of the Center for IT-based Education at Toyohashi University of Technology, has developed a mathematical model of the immune response within infected hosts that considers systemic infection of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and demonstrated by conducting experimental computer simulations that persistent viral infections within hosts potentially cause long COVID or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.
