       #IDMastodon #covidheart After several countries witnessed a surge in #COVID cases in recent weeks, largely due to the influx of a new strain JN.1, health experts have warned that this will increase the chances of potential heart issues for those who catch the disease. It could trigger a "#heartfailure  pandemic"     https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20231226/p2a/00m/0sc/047000c

       #IDMastodon Durable #Tcell responses to #SARSCoV2 antigens after infection or vaccination improve immune-mediated #viralclearance. To date, population-based surveys of #COVID19 #adaptiveimmunity have focused on testing for IgG antibodies that bind spike protein and/or neutralize the virus. Deployment of existing methods for measuring #Tcellimmunity could provide a more complete profile of immune status, informing #publichealth policies and interventions.             https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciimmunol.abo1303?utm_medium=ownedSocial&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SciImmunology
