Evolutionary epidemiologist Rob Wallace hosts a special edition of “COVID This Week”. In this episode we cover, as we do every episode, the state of global COVID and U.S. COVID. We also visit new results that suggest connections across COVID immunity, Long COVID, and this winter’s pediatric epidemics.
“COVID This Week” is produced by Vlad Jean, Shumon Alam, Rob Wallace, Rita Valenti, Les Schaffer, Bennett Torres, Zoe Levitt, Mary Jirmanus Saba, and the People’s CDC.
CORRECTION: We reported here that Rui-Cheng Yang’s team reports SARS-2 decreases the expression of tight junction protein and decreases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Not so, it *increases* the permeability of the barrier.
