Even mild COVID-19 cases can have major and long-lasting effects on people's health. That is one of the key findings from our recent multicountry study on long COVID-19 – or long COVID – recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Long COVID is defined as the continuation or development of symptoms three months after the initial infection from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These symptoms last for at least two months after onset with no other explanation.
We found that a staggering 90% of people living with long COVID initially experienced only mild illness with COVID-19. After developing long COVID, however, the typical person experienced symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath and cognitive problems such as brain fog – or a combination of these – that affected daily functioning. These symptoms had an impact on health as severe as the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury. Our study also found that women have twice the risk of men and four times the risk of children for developing long COVID.
We analyzed data from 54 studies reporting on over 1 million people from 22 countries who had experienced symptoms of COVID-19. We counted how many people with COVID-19 developed clusters of new long-COVID symptoms and determined how their risk of developing the disease varied based on their age, sex and whether they were hospitalized for COVID-19.
We found that patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 had a greater risk of developing long COVID – and of having longer-lasting symptoms – compared with people who had not been hospitalized. However, because the vast majority of COVID-19 cases do not require hospitalization, many more cases of long COVID have arisen from these milder cases despite their lower risk. Among all people with long COVID, our study found that nearly one out of every seven were still experiencing these symptoms a year later, and researchers don't yet know how many of these cases may become chronic.

A former F.B.I. informant accused of making false bribery claims about President Biden and his son Hunter — which were widely publicized by Republicans — claimed to have been fed information by Russian intelligence, according to a court filing on Tuesday.
In the memo, prosecutors portrayed the former informant, Alexander Smirnov, 43, as a serial liar incapable of telling the truth about even the most basic details of his own life. But Mr. Smirnov told federal investigators that “officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story” about Hunter Biden.
Those disclosures, including Mr. Smirnov’s unverifiable claim that he met with Russian intelligence officials as recently as three months ago, made him a flight risk and endangered national security, Justice Department officials said. Mr. Smirnov had been held in custody in Las Vegas, where he has lived since 2022, since his arrest last week.
He was released from custody on Tuesday on a personal recognizance bond after a detention hearing, said his lawyers, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld.
Prosecutors did not specify which story Russian intelligence is said to have been fed to Mr. Smirnov, an Israeli citizen. But they suggested they could not believe anything he said. And they had many tales to choose from.
The memo describes Mr. Smirnov as a human hall of mirrors: He fed the F.B.I. bogus information about the Bidens and misled prosecutors about his wealth, estimated at $6 million, while telling them he worked in the security business, even though the government could find no proof that was true.
“The misinformation he is spreading is not confined” to his false claims about the Bidens, wrote prosecutors working for David C. Weiss, the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden on tax and gun charges.
“He is actively peddling new lies that could impact U.S. elections after meeting with Russian intelligence officials in November,” they added.
That appeared to refer to Mr. Smirnov’s claim, made in late 2023 to the F.B.I., that he had spoken to the head of a Russian intelligence unit who said he had intercepted phone calls made by guests at a hotel overseas. Those included “several calls placed by prominent U.S. persons the Russian government may use as ‘kompromat’ in the 2024 election,” according to prosecutors.
Mr. Smirnov also told his F.B.I. handler that he was involved in meetings to help resolve the war in Ukraine, and that he had knowledge of assassination squads operating in “a third-party country.”
Last week, Mr. Weiss charged Mr. Smirnov with fabricating claims that President Biden and his son each sought $5 million bribes from a Ukrainian energy giant, Burisma, demanding the money to protect the company from an investigation by the country’s prosecutor general.
Those allegations, which prosecutors now say were brazen fabrications motivated by Mr. Smirnov’s animosity toward the president, were widely promoted by congressional Republicans who cited it as a justification for their now-stalled effort to impeach Mr. Biden.
Mr. Smirnov was taken into custody last week as he walked off an international flight from what prosecutors described as “a monthslong, multicountry foreign trip.” During that trip, he claimed to have had contacts with multiple foreign intelligence agencies and had planned to embark on a similar trip days later, according to the memo.
What makes the Smirnov case so unusual, aside from its political significance, is the willingness of the F.B.I. to publicly burn a confidential informant who had been on the bureau’s payroll as recently as last year. The filing contained excerpts from his source reporting documents, raw notes from interviews between handlers and informants that are considered some of the most sensitive federal law enforcement documents.
Also on Tuesday, Hunter Biden’s legal team filed motions in federal court arguing that the arrest of Mr. Smirnov — while unrelated to the charges Mr. Biden faces — has tainted the public’s perception of their client, making fair trials impossible.
“It now seems clear that the Smirnov allegations infected this case,” said Abbe Lowell, Mr. Biden’s lawyer, who accused Mr. Weiss of following “Mr. Smirnov down his rabbit hole of lies.”

From the February 19, 2024 article (emphasis mine):
The report specifically looked at adverse events following administration of the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines.
The researchers looked for 13 adverse events of special interest that occurred in vaccine recipients for up to 42 days after shots were administered. These conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s palsy, convulsions, myocarditis and pericarditis.
...
“The safety signals identified in this study should be evaluated in the context of their rarity, severity, and clinical relevance,” the researchers wrote.
“Moreover, overall risk–benefit evaluations of vaccination should take the risk associated with infection into account, as multiple studies demonstrated higher risk of developing the events under study, such as GBS, myocarditis, or ADEM, following SARS-CoV-2 infection than vaccination.”

New York Times Katie Rogers Aug. 2, 2024
The former Marine poked his head out of the jet and then lifted his hand in salute. The Wall Street Journal reporter greeted his waiting colleagues with a wide grin and open arms. The Russian American editor rushed into the arms of her sobbing daughter.
In the middle of the emotional scene that unfolded on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews late Thursday was President Biden. Hours earlier, Mr. Biden had triumphantly announced that his administration’s diplomatic efforts had secured the release of three American prisoners held by Russia. Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich and Alsu Kurmasheva deplaned and were greeted by cheers, applause and family members.
“It feels wonderful,” Mr. Biden told reporters. “I was absolutely convinced we would get it done. I meant what I said: Alliances make a difference.”
The enthusiastic greetings that played out over about half an hour in the dark of a steamy Maryland night offered a moment of unbridled joy in a world of foreign affairs that has more often thrown fire and chaos at the president. And for Mr. Biden, they provided a seeming vindication of the type of patient, multilateral diplomacy that he proudly practices but that has so far proved unable to halt wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
Jake Sullivan, Mr. Biden’s national security adviser, had held back tears as he told reporters earlier in the day that a multicountry agreement, which released 24 prisoners from the United States, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway and Russia, had been a “vintage Joe Biden” act of statecraft.
As he took question after question from waiting reporters, Mr. Biden seemed intent on reminding everyone what exactly that meant.
He repeatedly focused on the importance of international alliances: “Everybody thinks I talk about the notion of relationships and foreign policy with other countries,” he said. “It matters if other leaders trust you, you trust them and you get things done.”
He praised the Slovenians and the Germans for participating in the deal: “I asked them to do some things that were against their immediate self-interest, and it was difficult for them to do.”
And he reiterated the importance of family: “My dad used to say, family is the beginning, the middle and the end. And it really is. It’s about who we are. It’s about who we are as a country.”
At one point, Mr. Biden took an American flag pin off his lapel and pinned it on Mr. Whelan. Mr. Whelan, 54, is a former U.S. Marine who told reporters on Thursday that he had sung the American national anthem every day in custody. He also knew the precise number of days he had been held captive: “Five years, seven months, five days.” His first moments back on American soil were spent hugging the president and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Mr. Gershkovich, 32, a Wall Street Journal reporter who had spent 16 months in a Russian prison, deplaned and hugged Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden. He swept his mother, Ella Milman, into a hug, lifting her off the ground. And then he strode casually over to a group of reporters.
“Evan, how does it feel to finally be home?” one of them called out.
“It’s not bad,” he replied.
Ms. Kurmasheva, 47, a Russian American editor for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty who was arrested last year, embraced Mr. Biden, resting her head briefly on his chest, before hugging her family members.
Mr. Biden, who has not been one to linger with reporters for much of his presidency, spent time fielding questions and relishing a moment of presidential triumph, just 11 days after he made the decision to drop out of the presidential race. With only months left in his term, Mr. Biden has a legacy to protect, and the emotional return of the freed prisoners was an undeniable win for a president who, aides say, feels strongly that he has more to do with the time in office he has left.
He also has a presumptive Democratic nominee in Ms. Harris to support.
Ms. Harris, who traveled to Joint Base Andrews in her own motorcade and arrived before the president, was alongside him as he spoke to the freed prisoners and welcomed them home. Her candidacy has supercharged enthusiasm among Democrats and raked in millions of dollars. But on Thursday night, only a few questions were directed at her. At every turn, she flipped the attention back to Mr. Biden.
“This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy,” Ms. Harris told reporters.
Mr. Biden had all but clinched the prisoner-swap deal less than two hours before he announced to the world that he would not be seeking a second term. When a reporter asked how important it was to secure the prisoner release knowing that he would not run for re-election, the president smiled.
“You’re stuck with me as president for a while, kid,” Mr. Biden said. “There’s no way out, OK? You’ve got me for at least another 100, 90 days or so.”

Largest multicountry COVID study links vaccines to potential adverse effects
The Hill BY JOSEPH CHOI – 02/19/24 7:23 PM ET A new study on COVID-19 vaccines that looked at nearly 100 million vaccinated individuals affirmed the vaccines’ previously observed links to increased risks for certain adverse effects including myocarditis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The researchers noted in their analysis that COVID-19 infections have consistently been found to be more likely to…

Exploring Disability as a Determinant of Girl Child Marriage in Fragile States: A Multicountry Analysis
Purpose
Fragile states are countries characterized by poverty, conflict, political instability, insecurity, and disaster. In such settings, there are high levels of disability and women and girls are disproportionately impacted by violence. Despite the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal's call for both the elimination of violence against women and girls and disability-disaggregated data, few studies have investigated how disability may be associated with girl child marriage (GCM) and how these two factors impact intimate partner violence (IPV). This study sought to assess the prevalence and associations of disability with GCM and IPV among currently married/cohabiting women (aged 20–24 years) in fragile states.
Methods
A secondary data analysis of pooled nationally representative data from four Demographic and Health Surveys were analyzed using multivariable regressions to examine the associations between disability, GCM, and IPV (N = 3,119). The association between disability and GCM was further analyzed by multinomial regressions. These weighted analyses accounted for complex survey designs.
Results
Overall, 54.4% of GCM occurred among women with disabilities. Disabled women were more likely to report GCM compared to women without disabilities (adjusted odds ratio = 1.62, 95% confidence interval = 1.16–2.28). Among disabled women with a history of GCM, 41.3% experienced past-year IPV. Disabled women with a history of GCM were more likely to report past-year IPV compared to nondisabled women and no GCM (adjusted odds ratio = 1.78, confidence interval = 1.21–2.62).
Discussion
GCM and IPV (e.g., past-year, lifetime) among disabled girls may be pervasive in fragile states, underscoring the need for additional research examining the mechanisms driving these observations and to inform inclusive programming and policy.
Keywords
Disability
Child marriage
Fragile states
Humanitarian crisis
Intimate partner violence
Violence against women and girls

Fantasy ✨: what is something in your wip/s that is unique to your world?
The city Keearo and Aza live in, Olinfa, is nestled into the mountains, and for both cultural and topographical reasons is arranged in a wheel-like shape. The hub is downtown, where you'll find typical downtown stuff like clubs and bars (but those aren't limited to just downtown), most government offices, offices and stores for international things (imported goods, multicountry organizations like the Avestrian Sports Association, etc.), the city's central train station, and anything that pertains to all of the neighborhoods of the city. Very few people live downtown—most commute in from the neighborhoods on the train lines that form the spokes of the wheel. The neighborhoods are also connected with train lines, so you can do what's known as "riding the rim" to reach any neighborhood from any other neighborhood. In the local language the neighborhoods are called "little Olinfa"s with a number to designate which one. (In the common language people usually leave off the "little".) Part of the reason they're called that is because each neighborhood is like a self-contained little city—everything you need will be there, usually within walking distance. This also enables the classic Olinfa pastime of block parties.
Romance 👩‍❤️‍👩: a relationship dynamic in your wip/s that you want to talk about
Lately I've been thinking a lot about Syndy and Hoven and how they're terrible for each other in the best way. This doesn't really come out until their own book, post-TFA, where they take their long road trip (is it a road trip if there are no cars?) to the places Syndy's builder/Hoven's friend Gweltsen had wanted to take Syndy before their death. The short version is Syndy handles her grief about Gweltsen by embracing hedonistic nihilism and becoming actually mean, especially to Hoven, and Hoven is trying desperately to keep the trip in order and live up to his Responsibilities as Syndy's guardian instead of actually confronting his grief. Syndy ultimately abandons the trip after she realizes that she is functionally immortal and almost everyone she knows is going to die, and she doesn't want to deal with that ever again. It's only once Hoven calls her to tell her that he's leaving to see his dad in the hospital that she realizes she's wasting the time she could be (and wants to be) spending with Hoven and that she doesn't want him to be worrying about her and his dad at the same time. By this point, though, Hoven really does not trust her to keep her word, or even be genuinely nice to him, and it's both funny and a little heartwrenching to see this doormat of a guy confront her with a sarcastic take-no-shit attitude.
