New vitamin C podcast! The episode covers oral & intravenous bioavailability, common cold/viral infections, sepsis, pneumonia, inflammation, IVC and cancer, role in exercise, safety concerns, and so much more! Timeline and transcript on the episode page. https://t.co/SnD0mtKBVJ
On the latest #TWiV Daniel Griffin's clinical update on #COVIDー19 an Ad5 vectored #SARSCoV2 vaccine, reports on remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine, a drug repurposing study, why some patients infect many others, reducing viral transmission, and much more https://t.co/JQTF1h3RjW
@pwginsburg @krazyXist @profvrr You can see the lingering aspect of this virus in the astonishing number of seemingly asymptomatic patients.
Most of them aren't asymptomatic; they're pre-symptomatic.
This virus can linger, sometimes for an extended time cranking away without the immune system knowing
@pwginsburg @krazyXist @profvrr Bi-phasic progression: (1) sick (2) get better (3) crash.
If hospital is overwhelmed, at step 2, they release the patient, who is then readmitted at step 3 or dies at home.
Famous example: "After a week with no fever, he took a turn for the worst"

@CollegeTerrace1@profvrr I am based in Madrid. Lots of Covid here. I know many people who were infected and tested Covid-positive. They recovered and are completely fine, no sequelae whatsoever. I think persistence depends on viremia, as in VIH.
@profvrr Supposedly "recovered" patients in the US have been trying to tell people this for a while. Symptoms persist. Still coughing, coughing blood, fatigued, short of breath. Most likely, the virus is still slowly replicating in immune privileged sites.

@profvrr New data: Electron Microscopy of viral particles deep in the lungs of a patient doctors thought had cleared the virus.
This is a persistent virus. Not acute.
ID docs in the USA have said this for weeks. This virus lingers in protected sites.

After a party-goer in Seoul tested positive for #covid19 South Korea did more than 65,000 tests, uncovering 170 infections. It looks like that may have stopped the outbreak. Hope it has! Shows amazing value of aggressive contact tracing and testing https://t.co/dyihDcSYWx
@pwginsburg@LindsayBbent@profvrr @aj_velthuis But PCR testing is not the only reason people have been saying it. Maybe there's some reason, but South Korean docs reported that recovered & released patients returned with more symptoms - not just PCR results. Start around 8:10 https://t.co/ox2I3MPxSN
@LindsayBbent@profvrr @aj_velthuis Unfortunately, the public and media people do not understand what viruses are, how they're constructed, or molecular biology. So, trying to explain that the COVID-19 test only detects a couple of strings of RNA base pairs that code for nuclear capsid proteins is near impossible.
What have I been saying for months about purported reinfections with SARS-CoV-2? There are none! RT-PCR detects pieces of RNA not infectious virus!! https://t.co/9iKmTwV6TM Tests in recovered patients found false positives, not reinfections, experts say
