"Why COVID could be to blame for the rise in deadly meningitis, according to scientists"

Experts say COVID enters cells by binding to receptors, which may leave cells more vulnerable to bacteria. This could help explain secondary infections like pneumonia and possibly meningitis in some people after COVID infection.

Study finds long COVID leaves a distinct immune signature in the blood.

Study finds long COVID is linked to lasting immune changes, especially inflammation and neurological signals. Vaccines didn’t worsen these responses. The findings could improve biomarkers, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.

Long COVID is significantly underreported across the globe.

Long COVID has affected over 400 million people globally as of 2024, but it’s likely underreported—especially in low- and middle-income countries where data and access to care are limited.

World Health Network @thewhn.bsky.social

Every COVID-19 infection carries a risk of Long COVID - affecting the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system in ways that can last months or longer.

Prevention still works.

- Masking: Wear a high-quality mask (N95 or better) to reduce spread
- Ventilation: Bring in fresh air and use HEPA filtration indoors
- Distancing: Reduce crowding, use hybrid/remote options when possible
- Testing: Test early and often
- Vaccination: Helps protect against severe illness, especially with other measures

COVID is NOT primarily a respiratory disease.

It is a systemic vascular-immune disease causing endothelial injury, microvascular thrombosis, and immune dysregulation. This is concerning because the injury is cumulative with each infection (endothelium does not easily regenerate).
