Discussed in this episode:

  • There appears to be a summer surge in COVID activity: test positivity, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations are all trending up.
  • New research seems to confirm one mechanism behind Long Covid symptoms is auto-immunity:  in response to infection, the body starts producing antibodies that go on to attack parts of the body.
