COVID in Your Genes

by Daniel Brouse email help@membrane.com May 30, 2021 COVID gets into your genes and makes alterations. Anybody that has “Long Haulers” (Post Acute COVID-19 Syndrome) can tell you about some of the resulting symptoms. COVID-19 Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP) is one of the outcomes. CISP occurs when COVID changes your genome to chronically increase the […]

Airborne, Aerosol, & Viral Load

The primary mode of COIVD transmission is the inhalation of very small fine droplets and aerosolized virus. Viral load is the amount of virus exposure. The greater the viral load the more severe the COVID symptoms. The CDC reports: SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted by exposure to infectious respiratory fluids The principal mode by which people are […]

More Than 900,000 People Have Died Of COVID-19 In U.S

As of May 6, 2021, a new study estimates more than 900,000 have died from COVID in the USA (and more than 6.9 million globaly.) The study, “COVID-19 has caused 6.9 million deaths globally, more than double what official reports show”, comes from scientists at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. […]

COVID-19: A Survivor’s Story

by Daniel Brouse (Also see the update: 3 Years of Living With It) I am a scientist and journalist publishing articles and papers since 1994. As part of a collective of scientists, we have been working on the greatest threat to humankind — humans. Much of my effort has been spent on Anthropogenic Climate Change. […]

Post-infection COVID Immunity

A study published in The Lancet entitled Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibody responses and duration of immunity: a longitudinal study found the immunity from a COVID reinfection varies widely from individual to individual from days to decades. “We identified five distinctive patterns of neutralising antibody dynamics as follows: * negative, individuals who did not, at […]

Pollen and Increased SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America published the study Higher airborne pollen concentrations correlated with increased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates, as evidenced from 31 countries across the globe. The research showed that airborne pollen on average accounts for 44% of the variation in infection rates in addition to […]

Post-COVID Can Cause the Body to Attack Itself

In the study Musculoskeletal involvement of COVID-19, imaging showed evidence the body can attack itself. “There have been emerging reports, however, of an array of neuromuscular and rheumatologic complications related to COVID-19 infection and disease course including myositis, neuropathy, arthropathy, and soft tissue abnormalities. Multimodality imaging supports diagnosis and evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders in COVID-19 […]

The Recombination Event: SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19

When the COVID-19 genome changes, it is called a mutation. When the mutations combine, it is called a variant. When variants combine, it is called a recombination. The general consensus is SARS-CoV-2 originated from a recombination event. An animal variant combines with a human variant and jumps to humans. When a virus jumps form animals […]

COVID Mutation and Variant Threats

When multiple genetic mutations start showing up in infected individuals, it is called a variant. Omicron Delta You asked: In your opinion – Whats our window to get people vaccinated vs the new variant becoming dominant. Please correct me if I’m wrong – South African Variant not working so well with vaccines. UK Variant is […]

COVID Mortality Rate, Recovered, or Survived

by Daniel Brouse February 4, 2021 There have been discussions about how the COVID-19 mortality rate is declining. I said: The mortality rate is probably not declining. In fact, the new variants are likely increasing the mortality rate. The graphs that appear to show the mortality rate declining have more to do with how we […]
