What to know about long COVID and how to reduce your risk - Published Aug 1, 2024
UC San Francisco scientists have found that SARS-CoV-2 can linger in the body for years and could be driving a global epidemic in long COVID.
They’re also exploring the surprising long-term risks of getting COVID in pregnancy.
Assistant Professor of Medicine Michael Peluso, MD, heads UCSF’s LIINC program, short for “Long-term Impact of Infection with Novel Coronavirus,” a university-wide effort to understand one of COVID-19’s most enduring challenges. Peluso and Professor of Pediatrics Valerie Flaherman, MD, MPH, lead components of the National Institutes of Health’s long COVID consortium, RECOVER – or Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery.
Peluso and Flaherman tell us what we know about long COVID – and what we don’t.
What is long COVID? Peluso: There’s not a single picture of long COVID, and that’s one reason it’s been challenging to study.
Still, when clinicians or researchers talk about long COVID, they’re referring to medically unexplained symptoms that persist for months or years after somebody’s had COVID.
We don’t know what causes it, why this happens to some people and not others, or how to get people feeling better, which is what we spend most of our time trying to figure out.
What are some of the most common long COVID symptoms? Peluso: Symptoms include “brain fog” – issues with memory or thinking – trouble breathing and fatigue. Fatigue doesn’t mean feeling a little tired – it’s bone-crushing fatigue, or what we refer to as post-exertional malaise.
Post-exertional malaise occurs when a physical, cognitive or even social activity that a person used to be able to do easily causes debilitating fatigue for days afterward. It’s often best demonstrated by people who were quite fit before they got COVID – running miles or going on long hikes, for instance. Now, they can only do a fraction of that.
Some people also have prominent gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, abdominal pain or diarrhea. We’re even seeing genitourinary symptoms like pelvic pain and menstruation issues.
Who is most at risk of long COVID? Flaherman: Generally, people who have had a more severe COVID infection are at a higher risk for developing long COVID, as are elderly people, and those with pre-existing conditions or who have not been vaccinated.
What about pregnancy and long COVID? Flaherman: We still don’t know for sure, but our data suggests that pregnant people may be at a lower risk of developing long COVID when we compare to the estimates we’re getting from the adult RECOVER cohort. Still, long COVID affects pregnant people in uniquely risky ways. Almost 1 in 10 pregnant people developed long COVID in our recent study done alongside the University of Utah. That study involved about 1,500 people who had contracted COVID during pregnancy.
The most common symptom was post-exertional malaise.
Can pregnant people pass the virus onto their fetuses? Flaherman: It’s difficult to be certain, but if it is possible, it seems quite rare.
What about newborns? Flaherman: If a pregnant person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the time of delivery, then it’s possible that she, like anyone else in the delivery room, could transmit the virus to the baby. We recommend that mothers who have SARS-CoV-2 around delivery wear a mask while holding or breastfeeding their baby and wash their hands frequently for five days after they have been fever-free.
Should new mothers with SARS-CoV-2 breastfeed? Flaherman: Yes. Breastfeeding provides benefits to babies, including some immunity to SARS-CoV-2, which helps them fight off any COVID-19 that they might be exposed to. We encourage mothers to breastfeed babies directly, even if they have COVID-19, but to mask and wash their hands frequently.
When does long COVID go away? Flaherman: In the pregnant people and new mothers we studied, those who developed long COVID had symptoms for nearly a year on average.
Peluso: Most of the data shows that this can go on for years and that the proportion of people who fully recover is disturbingly small. Sometimes, it’s as low as 10%.
What might be causing long COVID? Peluso: If you had told me four years ago that we’d be having this conversation about SARS-Cov-2 persisting in people’s bodies, I wouldn’t have believed you.
Recently, we reported that we could find SARS-CoV-2 protein in the blood of some people post-COVID. This must be coming from somewhere. Our hypothesis is that pieces of the virus persist in tissues and organs, so at UCSF, we started by looking at the GI tract of people with long COVID. This is relatively easy to do – as anyone who’s ever had a colonoscopy would know.
What we found was surprising. Some people with long COVID had pieces of the virus in their GI tract, even a year or two after they had COVID. And we at UCSF were the first to show that this virus could still be active.
Were the pieces of the virus you found replicating? Peluso: We don’t know for sure yet. But we detected double-stranded RNA, which should only be present if the virus was moving through its lifecycle and replicating.
Why might SARS-CoV-2 be lingering in the body? Peluso: One reason might be that the virus is in pockets cordoned off from the immune system. For example, immune cells might have walled it off as they worked to contain it. Another possibility is that it hides out in areas that are tougher to reach, like the nervous system. A third possibility is that the virus could evolve after infection so that the immune response is no longer effective against it.
You can imagine all sorts of scenarios. We don’t know which one is true yet. But this is a major lead that we are chasing down.
How can I reduce my risk of long COVID? Peluso: Not getting COVID in the first place is the best strategy, but that’s easier said than done. I’m still quite diligent about masking and vaccination because studies have shown that being up to date with your vaccine when you get COVID-19 can reduce your risk of developing long COVID.
We don’t yet know if taking Paxlovid or an antiviral will reduce your risk of long COVID, but it could help you and is worth discussing with your doctor.

Sarafan ChEM H Program Drives Collaborative Research at Stanford
Sarafan ChEM-H is a key research driver in Stanford University’s mission of forwarding molecular discoveries to benefit human health. Established in 2013, Standing for Chemistry, Engineering, and Medicine for Human Health, or Stanford ChEM-H, brings together around 200 postdoctoral students, faculty members, and undergraduates to explore how individual molecules interact within the body and how these behaviors alter with the presence of diseases. The information enables novel discoveries that transform the treatment of diseases in clinical settings.
The name ChEM-H reflects a significant gift in 2022 from Lily Sarafan, BS ���03, MS ’03. The university trustee and healthcare entrepreneur invested in research into the microbiome, immunology, vaccines, and cancer. Funded programs additionally seek to uncover the molecular mechanisms underpinning aging,
In addition, the investment plays an integral role in supporting the ChEM-H Knowledge Centers or shared laboratories focused on translational biomedical science research. The specialized equipment available at the centers goes beyond what individual labs and departments on campus offer and enables an interdisciplinary approach to graduate training.
The Knowledge Center for Medicinal Chemistry provides an environment for technical areas such as high-throughput screening, macromolecular structure, protein engineering, and metabolomics. It provides researchers with state-of-the-art instrumentation and knowledge resources critical in drug discovery and synthesizing new compounds. Leading pharmaceutical laboratories have this level of support, but academic settings do not. Therefore, it has become a unique experience for participants.
Another center focuses on macromolecular structure and provides researchers with advanced tools for examining proteins and nucleic acids and the biomolecules’ functions, shapes, and interactions. Advanced equipment includes cryo-EM instrumentation, which drives leading-edge virus particle and large-molecule imaging. Understanding coronavirus and its unique spike protein became essential during the pandemic.
The Knowledge Centers support around 100 research collaborations, which have generated eight filed patents and more than 50 published research papers. Several startups have launched as a result of the Knowledge Centers' research, resulting in entrepreneurial ventures well beyond the Stanford ecosystem.
The director of Sarafan ChEM-H described the funding gift as essential in accelerating progress by removing traditional barriers between chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering. Students receive training in collaborative approaches that bridge disciplines and translate into novel treatment pathways. Stanford’s acting dean of research further characterized the future of science as “team science,” with shared platforms bringing together talented researchers who might otherwise not interact. Using open collaboration spaces, they share specialized expertise and meaningfully further each others’ projects.
Regarding her funding contribution, Lily Sarafan described herself as a “passionate supporter of the life sciences” who values the flexible research model embodied in next-generation ChEM-H activities. She also finds the program’s commitment to “diversity of all forms” encouraging, as Stanford reaches out to the most promising and highly qualified entrepreneurial researchers worldwide. The future is bright for young researchers looking to make their scientific and entrepreneurial mark in emerging biological and medical science areas.

"Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. More than 200 symptoms have been identified with impacts on multiple organ systems. At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have long COVID, with cases increasing daily.
Biomedical research has made substantial progress in identifying various pathophysiological changes and risk factors and in characterizing the illness; further, similarities with other viral-onset illnesses such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have laid the groundwork for research in the field.
In this review, we explore the current literature and highlight key findings, the overlap with other conditions, the variable onset of symptoms, long COVID in children and the impact of vaccinations. Although these key findings are critical to understanding long COVID, current diagnostic and treatment options are insufficient, and clinical trials must be prioritized that address leading hypotheses.
Additionally, to strengthen long COVID research, future studies must account for biases and SARS-CoV-2 testing issues, build on viral-onset research, be inclusive of marginalized populations and meaningfully engage patients throughout the research process."

The Power of Crowdsourcing in a Crisis: Crowdsourcing in China
(week 12)
Whether it is a natural disaster, a public health event or a social upheaval, the power of crowdsourcing is widely recognized. In China, the application of crowdsourcing in crisis response has been particularly prominent, especially during the 2020 New Crown epidemic outbreak, which demonstrated a strong mobilization and organizing capacity. In this blog, I will explore the role and significance of crowdsourcing in crisis, using the practice of crowdsourcing during the New Crown outbreak in China as an example.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, Wuhan, as the outbreak center of the epidemic, quickly became the focus of national and global attention. In the face of the sudden outbreak, the Chinese government and all sectors of society acted swiftly to mobilize national resources using the crowdsourcing model to fight the epidemic.
Information pooling and sharing
In the early stages of an outbreak, accurate information dissemination is critical. In this regard, the crowdsourcing model plays a huge role. Medical experts and researchers across the country shared the latest research results and outbreak information through online platforms, which facilitated the rapid development and implementation of epidemic prevention measures (Xu & Tang 2022). For example, researchers in China have accelerated the development of vaccines and drugs by sharing viral genome sequences through crowdsourcing platforms.
Mobilization of medical resources
After the outbreak of the Wuhan epidemic, local medical resources were rapidly running out. Medical supplies and human resources were urgently mobilized from all over the country to support Wuhan through the crowdsourcing model. Through the crowdsourcing platform, hospitals, enterprises and individuals from all over the country quickly responded to the demand by donating urgently needed materials such as masks, protective suits and ventilators. Crowdsourcing not only realized the efficient deployment of resources, but also demonstrated the strong cohesion of all people in the fight against the epidemic.
Volunteer organization and participation
In epidemic prevention and control, the role of volunteers cannot be ignored. Thousands of volunteers have signed up to participate in community epidemic prevention through crowdsourcing platforms (Nian 2020). From medical support, material distribution to psychological counseling, all aspects of epidemic prevention and control are covered. The crowdsourcing platform not only improves the efficiency of volunteer organization, but also optimizes the distribution and scheduling of volunteer services through data analysis.
Popularization of public health knowledge
During an epidemic, it is crucial for the public to understand and master the knowledge of epidemic prevention and control. Under the crowdsourcing model, media, experts, and the general public participate together to widely disseminate epidemic prevention and control knowledge through social media, live broadcasting platforms, and online courses (Sun, Chen & Viboud 2020). This model of information sharing not only raises public awareness of epidemic prevention, but also enhances the overall response capacity of society.
Overall, crowdsourcing, as a flexible and efficient coping strategy, has shown great potential in the crisis. In the response to the Xin Guan epidemic in China, crowdsourcing not only improved the efficiency of resource deployment and information sharing, but also enhanced social cohesion and the spirit of mutual assistance.

Covishield Side Effects: What You Need to Know After 2 Years
Covishield, the Indian-made soldier in the fight against COVID-19, has become a household name. Millions across the globe have received this vaccine, and with time comes the natural question: what about Covishield side effects two years down the line? This article delves deeper, exploring both the well-known short-term effects and navigating the murky waters of potential long-term concerns.
Short-Term Jitters: A Common Occurrence
The good news? Most reported Covishield side effects are like fleeting visitors, arriving shortly after vaccination and departing within a few days. These temporary inconveniences are your body's immune system kicking into gear, a sign the vaccine is doing its job. Here's a breakdown of these common short-term companions: - Injection Site Woes: A familiar ache or soreness at the injection site is a frequent guest. Think of it as a mild muscle strain that fades away within a day or two. - Feverish Discomfort: A slight fever is another guest you might encounter. This low-grade rise in body temperature is your immune system's response, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. - Fatigue: The Post-Vaccination Slump: Feeling drained or sluggish is a common complaint. Don't fight it – listen to your body and prioritize rest and hydration. - Headache Hijinks: Let's face it, headaches are unwelcome visitors anywhere. The good news is, these post-vaccination headaches tend to be short-lived and resolve on their own. - Muscle Aches and Chills: A slight shiver or muscle soreness might join the party. These are usually short-lived and can be soothed with rest and over-the-counter pain relievers.
The Rare Blood Clot Risk: Knowledge is Power

Thrombosis, cardiovascular system, medicine, biology, health, anatomy, pathology concepts. While short-term effects are manageable, there's a very rare side effect associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, including Covishield, called Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS). TTS involves blood clots developing in unusual locations along with a decrease in blood platelets. The risk of developing TTS is extremely low, estimated to be around 4-8 cases per million vaccinations. However, being aware of the signs and symptoms of TTS is crucial. These may include: - A persistent, worsening headache - Blurred vision or difficulty seeing - Difficulty breathing or chest pain - Leg swelling or pain - Persistent abdominal pain If you experience any of these symptoms after receiving the Covishield vaccine, seek immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment are key in managing TTS.
The Long-Term Landscape: Navigating Uncertainty
World of blue question mark. Elements of this image furnished by NASA. Since COVID-19 vaccines are a relatively new development, there's a lack of long-term data (beyond 2 years) on potential Covishield side effects. However, this doesn't necessarily translate to hidden risks. Extensive safety monitoring is ongoing by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health organizations to assess the long-term safety of all COVID-19 vaccines, including Covishield.
Reliable Sources for Covishield Side Effect Information: Don't Get Lost in the Maze
With the ever-changing information landscape surrounding COVID-19 vaccines, relying on credible sources for updates on Covishield side effects is paramount. Here are some trustworthy resources you can consult: - World Health Organization (WHO): https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/the-oxford-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine-what-you-need-to-know - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html
When in Doubt, Talk it Out: Consulting Your Healthcare Professional
If you have any specific concerns related to Covishield side effects after receiving the vaccine, consult a healthcare professional. They can address your individual questions and concerns based on your medical history and any specific symptoms you may be experiencing.
The Final Word: Knowledge is Power
Covishield has been a crucial weapon in the fight against COVID-19. While most reported Covishield side effects are short-term and mild, it's important to be aware of the rare blood clot risk (TTS) and to seek immediate medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms. The lack of long-term data beyond two years doesn't necessarily indicate long-term risks, and ongoing monitoring efforts by health organizations are in place. For the most up-to-date and reliable information on Covishield side effects, consult trustworthy health resources or schedule an appointment with your doctor. Read the full article

Poultry Pathology Perspectives: Insights from Diagnostics
Introduction to Poultry Diagnostics
Poultry diagnostic refers to the identification and analysis of diseases and health issues affecting poultry flocks. Proper diagnostics is crucial for poultry producers to maintain flock health and productivity. This article will explore some key aspects of poultry diagnostic including types of testing, sample collection, common diseases, and the role diagnostics plays in disease prevention and treatment. Types of Diagnostic Testing
There are several types of diagnostic tests that can be used to determine the health status of poultry flocks: Serology: Serology tests, also known as antibody tests, detect antibodies in blood serum that are produced in response to certain diseases. These tests can identify if birds have been previously exposed to pathogens like avian influenza or Newcastle disease. Microbiology: Microbiological tests identify the presence of bacteria, viruses, parasites or other microorganisms in samples. Culturing and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) techniques are commonly used to detect specific pathogens. Necropsy: A postmortem examination of dead birds, known as a necropsy, can provide visual clues to diagnosis. Tissue samples collected during necropsy can then undergo further lab testing. Molecular Diagnostics: Advanced molecular diagnostic methods like real-time PCR have revolutionized poultry disease detection. They provide rapid, sensitive identification of pathogens from different sample types. Sample Collection and Submission
Proper sample collection and handling is critical for accurate diagnostic results. Samples must be properly stored and transported to avoid deterioration. The most common sample types submitted for poultry diagnostics include: - Oropharyngeal (choanal cleft) and cloacal swabs: Used for microbiological testing. - Serum: Collected from the brachial vein for serology tests. - Tissues: Organ tissues collected during necropsy examinations. - Eggs: Yolk, albumen and embryos can be tested for certain pathogens. - Feces: Help identify enteric (intestinal) infections and coccidiosis. Common Poultry Diseases Tested
Some significant diseases frequently evaluated through poultry diagnostic include: Avian Influenza: A highly contagious viral disease and causative agent of bird flu outbreaks. Rapid PCR tests are commonly used. Marek's Disease: A ubiquitous herpesvirus infection causing tumors. PCR analysis of tissue samples enables diagnosis. Infectious Bronchitis: A coronavirus infecting the respiratory and urogenital tracts. RT-PCR tests are highly sensitive and specific. Newcastle Disease: A devastating viral pathogen affecting many bird species worldwide. Microbiological culturing and molecular tests are used. Salmonellosis: Zoonotic bacterial disease associated with Salmonella enterica. Bacteria is isolated through culture and identified. Coccidiosis: An enteric parasitic disease primarily affecting young chickens and turkeys. Fecal flotation or molecular tests detect oocyst shedding. The Role of Diagnostics in Disease Management
Timely and accurate diagnostics is essential for controlling disease outbreaks and minimizing economic losses in poultry production. Knowing disease status allows for: - Rapid treatment and containment: Prompt diagnosis leads to quicker therapeutic intervention and prevents spread. - Monitoring flock health: Routine monitoring through diagnostics helps detect subclinical infections and implement preventive measures. - Vaccine selection: Diagnostics guides proper vaccine selection to provide protection against significant prevalent pathogens. - Trade and movement: Many countries require diagnostic testing and certification for import/export of poultry and products. - Surveillance programs: Industry-wide surveillance through laboratory submission aids early detection of foreign diseases. In conclusion, modern poultry diagnostics employs a range of laboratory tests tailored to each situation. Strategic use of diagnostics supports optimum flock health, productivity and food safety through early disease identification and management. Diagnostics is an indispensable tool for disease prevention and control in the poultry industry.

Empowering the Self-Employed: A Roadmap to the SETC Tax Credit
In the realm of self-employment, the SETC tax credit has emerged as a beacon of financial relief for freelancers, independent contractors, and gig workers, often standing for more than just "Self Employment Tax Credit." In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, this credit has proven to be a lifeline for those who may not have been aware of its existence. In this article, we'll delve into what the SETC tax credit is, how much you could be eligible for, and the steps to claim this often overlooked financial support.
Understanding the SETC Tax Credit:
The SETC tax credit gained prominence with the expansion of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Designed to provide support to the self-employed, this credit compensates for income lost due to COVID-19-related challenges. If you missed claiming these credits in 2020 and 2021, fret not – they are still available, and services like SETCTaxCredit.org can assist you in reclaiming them in a timely manner.
How Much is the SETC Tax Credit?
The potential windfall from the SETC tax credit is substantial, reaching up to $32,220. This amount is calculated based on your net earnings from self-employment in the years 2020 and 2021. Essentially, it acts as reimbursement for income lost during periods of self-employment work affected by the pandemic.
Reasons to Receive SETC Credits:
You may qualify if you experienced work interruptions due to quarantine or isolation orders, self-quarantine based on medical advice, COVID-19 symptoms while awaiting a doctor's appointment, waiting for test results, getting vaccinated, or dealing with vaccine side effects.
Who Qualifies?
If you fall under the self-employed umbrella – be it a sole proprietor, independent business owner, 1099 contractor, freelancer, gig worker, or single-member LLC – you are likely eligible. The key criterion is having missed work due to COVID-19-related issues.
Fast-Track Your Refund:
Although the standard waiting period for SETC credits is 18-23 weeks, there's an expedited option available. SETCTaxCredit.org provides a platform where you can receive the money upfront, bypassing the usual lengthy wait time.
Claiming Your Credits:
To access the SETC tax credits, assess your eligibility and amend your 2020 and/or 2021 tax returns. Opting for certified professionals like Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) or services like SETCTaxCredit.org can streamline the process, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Tax Credit Duration:
Covering the period from April 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, the SETC tax credit provides relief for up to 110 days for childcare-related time off and 20 days for personal or family care.
Average Refund and Waiting Period:
Users of SETCTaxCredit.org have reported an average refund of $16,658. While the standard refund process takes 16-20 weeks, the advance option at SETCTaxCredit.org provides a faster resolution.
Why Haven't You Heard of SETC Before?
Originally tailored for employers with W-2 employees, the SETC tax credit for the self-employed wasn't widely publicized. Shockingly, more than 80% of self-employed individuals are unaware of their entitlement to these credits.
In conclusion, it's time to seize what's rightfully yours. Explore and claim the federal SETC tax credits you deserve today at SETCTaxCredit.org, ensuring you secure the financial support you are owed. Don't let this hidden gem pass you by – uncover the SETC tax credit and take control of your financial destiny.
