New study shows COVID-19 could hide in your brain and reactivate down the road

A new study shows coronavirus may actually hide in the brain, where it could reactivate down the road.

While there is still much to learn about COVID-19, researchers at Georgia State University have studied why symptoms widely vary with those infected with the virus. Lead researcher Dr. Mukesh Kumar, an associate professor in the Department of Biology, said they’ve learned through studying mice for months, COVID-19 may clear the lungs, but not necessarily the body.

“(The) brain is one of the organs where viruses like to hide. We know that because there is no immune response. So viruses like to go to a place and hide where they can be safe,” said Kumar.

Honestly, this thread might be the single best place on the internet to serve as an archive for the American COVID experience. I'm not kidding. So much feedback, stories, experiences, data sources, etc in one place. 

@mugtang should call the library of congress or the University of Nevada library special collections or something.

Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention.

I bet we have a vaccine before the death toll hits 50 in the USA.

This government has been hell bent on shooting itself in the foot.  Recessed economy?  Give out money to corporations with no stipulation.  Booming economy?  Cut taxes.  A jarringly halted economy?  Give out money to everyone.

My first post in this thread, for reference .  Man, we have come a ways

Go back to one of my first posts, and it was on needing to balance the first lockdowns with economic impacts.  I get to dodge this. :banana:

Me too. My first post was on the stock market!

A cut from a longer interview earlier today.   

There was also discussion towards combating new variants like the South African one.  I think we have time, but it’s going to be something to watch and of concern.

Unfortunately not.  The advertising companies are smarter than that.
