If one person think SARS-CoV-2 means "common cold", and another person knows COVID-19 is a life-span altering vascular disease, we are living in two very different realities my friend

There can never be a cure as such. Too many organs and body systems are affected. All we can do is to treat symptoms for now.
Chronic COVID will be, as I have been saying since 2020, the greatest health challenge we have ever faced.
Research continues but I remain pessimistic.
Stark warning from MSF: "Never before has an Ebola outbreak recorded so many cases so soon. Nobody knows its true scale. New cases are reported daily, yet hundreds of samples remain untested. Border and airport closures delay the arrival of critical aid."

It was once unusual for Vibrio vulnificus, popularly known as flesh-eating bacteria, to strike north of Georgia. Lately, however, the bacteria have killed people as far north as New York and Rhode Island. “What has happened is that the environment has changed,” Rita Colwell, a 91-year-old biologist at the University of Maryland, told Shayla Love. It’s not that the bacteria are migrating, she said. Low levels are always present where fresh and salty water mix. But, when water warms beyond 50 degrees Fahrenheit, V. vulnificus becomes more common, and above 77 degrees its population soars. Nowadays, about a dozen cases are confirmed in Maryland each year; the number increased by more than 50 per cent in the span of 14 years. A 2023 study found that the season in which the bacteria are detectable now starts in early spring and extends into the fall. “This is insidious, and it’s happening to us,” Colwell said.
Love reports on how a warming planet is changing what scientists call the “unseen majority” of life—microbes—and the ripple effects that could have on everything else: https://t.co/zoxjrwAefn
I'm shocked at the rapidity of advances in cancer therapy. I've seen those with diseases that were virtual death sentences when I was in medical school 20y ago living longer lives, getting more time with their kids, even working. Truly an age of miracles.
📣 Just out: our new study on the 'cold blob' in the Northern Atlantic. Is that due to ocean currents bringing less heat there, or due to more heat being lost through the sea surface?
Our data analysis strongly suggests it's due to #AMOC slowing.
