Airborne COVID-19: What does it mean, how does it increase risk and what are the steps to stay safe?
NEW YORK -- Since the start of the pandemic, scientists have been racing to understand how the novel coronavirus is spread.Public health guidance has stated that it is primarily spread through large respiratory droplets expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs or sneezes, but mounting scientific evidence suggests that even tinier virus particles can also linger in the air and infect people as they inhale.Known as airborne transmission, the risk of this situation is highest in crowded indoor areas with poor ventilation.As people return to their offices, children return to schools, and restaurants, bars and churches welcome patrons back into their establishments, the implications of the novel coronavirus being airborne are significant — and it could alter many of the current measures being taken to slow the trajectory of the pandemic.Dr.

Scientists warn of potential brain damage linked to COVID-19
LONDON =- Scientists warned on Wednesday of potential brain damage linked to the novel coronavirus, including severe neurological complications such as delirium, brain inflammation, stroke and nerve damage.A study led by researchers at University College London described more than 40 patients with COVID-19 who experienced a multitude of different brain effects.Some people in the study did not have severe respiratory symptoms, and the neurological problem was the COVID-19 patient’s first and primary symptom.The study, published in the journal Brain, also identified a sometimes deadly inflammatory condition known as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), which appears to be increasing in prevalence due to the pandemic.Typically seen in children, ADEM is rare and can be triggered by viral infections, experts say.“We identified a higher than expected number of people with neurological conditions such as brain inflammation, which did not always correlate with the severity of respiratory symptoms,” said Dr.
