Some Covid Survivors Have Antibodies That Attack the Body, not Virus (Published 2020)

New research found ‘autoantibodies’ similar to those in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients. But patients may also benefit from treatments for those autoimmune diseases.

Some survivors of Covid-19 carry worrying signs that their immune system has turned on the body, reminiscent of potentially debilitating diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, a new study has found.

At some point, the body’s defense system in these patients shifted into attacking itself, rather than the virus, the study suggests. The patients are producing molecules called “autoantibodies” that target genetic material from human cells, instead of from the virus.

This misguided immune response may exacerbate severe Covid-19. It may also explain why so-called “long haulers” have lingering problems months after their initial illness has resolved and the virus is gone from their bodies.

Well, I’m not very concerned. It’s not like the virus is spreading out of control in America right now...

Utah’s numbers from wed:


That’s 500 more new cases than last Wednesday.
32 percent positivity rate??? Never seen that... anywhere!
Annnnddd still gyms, movie theaters, etc remain open. Indoor dining still happening. And foot game is still being played.

Six days of double doughnuts, no deaths, no cases. If i wasn't a cheap bastard i'd have bought the boys a dozen doughnuts before work. (Im skint so the fat bastards can buy their own doughnuts)

 

[Rubashov]

I would think skewed in a pretty massive understatement

Has this triggered any kind of conversation over there about what a bunch of incredibly unhealthy fat bastards you are ??

As a fairly unhealthy fat bastard i say **** you salad boy, i'll eat your corpse

So I've been maintaining a spreadsheet with both our national and Utah numbers. Here are a few snapshots...

October


November


Monthly so far


One thing I found interesting about yesterday's 11/4 numbers in Utah was that the "rest of the state" new case count exceeded the new case count from SL county. I don't think that's ever happened before. I reflect back on all those morons in St. George and other rural areas resisting mask mandates with claims that, "This virus isn't here!" Cool. But it will be. Wear the mask to prevent its transmission. Clearly, that didn't happen and all those packed rodeos, football stadiums, parties, restaurants, church meetings, etc are having a toll. I really don't understand why gyms are still open, indoor dining is still a thing, high school football is still going on with spectators, and why the LDS church hasn't acted more proactively (like they did in the spring) to help stop this thing from spreading... But whatever, I'm just a science believing lib in a sea of red stupidity (herd mentality) in Utah.

2,807 cases today. Just when you think there's a ceiling, we blow through it.

Taking my daughter to get tested this afternoon. If she's positive, will assume I have it as well I guess.
