    This helps explains many of the anti-vax Covid-denier posters on ET.

    Severe COVID-19 can damage brain like 20 years of aging - study
    The damage from COVID-19 can result in cognitive impairment sustained by those between 50-70 years of age and is the equivalent of essentially losing 10 IQ points, a new study shows.

  6. Well, I can tell this is clearly misinformation by a single signifier:
    It's true.

    LOL! Is this what happened to you? You fit the demographic perfectly. Between 50-70 and lost 10 IQ points (at least) in the past two years.

    Are you trying to claim I had severe Covid?

    Well I didn't because vaccination fortunately prevents severe Covid in the most people.

    The huge majority of the severely ill and dead from Covid are unvaccinated.

    Have you had an IQ test lately, lol.
    Early treatment, Early treatment, then on the other hand, there's always Early treatment.

    Researchers at UCLouvain (Belgium) have managed to identify the key that allows the coronavirus to attack cells. In addition, they have also managed to block the virus and prevent it from interacting with body cells, in order to prevent infection.

    The discovery, published in the science magazine Nature Communications, raises hopes for an antiviral drug to eradicate the virus.

    For two years, the team led by David Alsteens, researcher at UCLouvain's Institute of Biomolecular Sciences and Technologies, has been working to understand the mechanisms the virus uses to infect a cell. They investigated the interaction between sialic acids (SAs), a type of sugar residue on the surface of the cell, and the spike protein (S) of the virus to determine the role of that interaction in the infection process.

    It was already known that the sialic acids surrounding the cells promote cell recognition, which makes it easier for viruses to identify their targets, but also that they facilitate the point of attachment of the virus and the infection of the cell.

    The researchers have now identified a variant of the sialic acids that interacts more strongly with the virus's spike proteins than other sugars. In other words, "they have found the key with which the virus opens the door to the cells," explains the university.

    Change lock

    The researchers then decided to trap the virus on its own by preventing it from attaching to its host. They changed the lock or blocked the attachment points of the S protein, thus suppressing any interaction with the cell surface. "If the virus can't attach to the cells, it can't get in and it dies. In this way infection is prevented," says UCLouvain. They added that this discovery has the advantage of working with every variant of the virus, regardless of mutations. The research team will now conduct experiments on mice to apply this blocker to the virus and test whether it works on an organism. The results should make it possible to develop an antiviral drug.
