COVID-19 Delta Variant and Vaccines
By Daniel Brouse What do we know about the Delta variant and vaccines? OVERVIEW The efficacy of mRna vaccines is about 79% against contracting the Delta variant. Non-mRna vaccines are between 40-60% effective against Delta. Vaccines lose efficacy at about 3%/month after six months of being fully vaccinated. Vaccines appear to help contain the Delta […]
Long-COVID and Environmental Aggravators
by Daniel Brouse help@membrane.com Exercise aggravates long-COVID symptoms. COVID causes changes to your genes making it harder to create NAD+ and quicker to consume NAD+. Normally, exercise helps boost your NAD+. Not with long-COVID. The inflammation caused by exercise, anxiety, or exertion causes a rapid depletion of NAD+ aggravating long-COVID symptoms and perpetuating the downward […]

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.

Coastal Real Estate Financial Crisis
The rising sea level is putting a trillion dollars of real estate at high risk. “The question is no longer if rising seas will erode coastal home values, but who will get stuck with the devalued assets when the markets turn,” reported Dee Gill. “Alarmingly, more than half of that (at-risk property) exposure is estimated […]
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 […]
