Covid-19 FAQs
(In)Frequently Asked Questions: COVID-19
Are you tired of “living with COVID?” I am. We’ve been dealing with this virus since early 2020, and it’s not going away anytime soon.
April 2025, Renee Despres PhD, MPH
COVID could be over – but it’s not. Wecould have stopped this long ago–but instead,
we pretended it was over, which guaranteed that it would never end. We pretended that vaccines were the magic bullet that would end the pandemic. We pretended we didn’t need to take any precautions and we could go to restaurants, bars, packed concert halls, fly in airplanes packed like sardines, and send kids to crowded, poorly ventilated classrooms.
After all, who wants to wear a face mask, test, isolate when sick, avoid restaurants and
bars, homeschool, your kids, get vaccinated at least once a year, and turn down invitations to parties? It’s a lot easier to just pretend the wholething is over – until it isn’t…
Safe In Person Gatherings
We Own it to Each Other to Create Safe and Accessible Spaces
Safer In-Person Gatherings is what we should all want. The Peoples CDC has published this guide that offers strategies for safer in-person gatherings.
COVID-19 is airborne and in our efforts to be together, we do not want to leave behind those who cannot access indoor and in-person spaces during this pandemic.

How to Talk About Covid
How To Talk To Your Loved Ones About Covid
So, you love someone who has stopped taking Covid precautions (or never took them to begin with)
What are you going to do now? If you’re here, you’re concerned about keeping your community safe. But how? What do those conversations actually look like? This guide is a template for navigating these emotionally-charged and difficult conversations. It attempts to put you on a good path for teaching others what you know while encouraging mask wearing, doing what you can to protect your community, including yourself.
We are speaking across a huge divide.
Everyone who has stopped masking is living in a different version of reality than we are. In their minds, Covid is over. Or milder, or a problem for the sick. All around, restaurants are open. The bars are open. The mall is open. False ‘normalcy’ is everywhere.
Case Law Database
Open-Access Case Law Database
Among the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, countless legal issues are at the forefront. The Covid-19 Litigation Project aims to provide an overview on a worldwide scale of the case law resulting from challenges against government measures to fight the pandemic.
The Most Important Lesson of the COVID-19 Pandemic
SARS-CoV-2 Changes Brain Structure
SARS-CoV-2 is associated with changes in brain structure in UK Biobank
There is strong evidence of brain-related abnormalities in COVID-19. However, it remains unknown whether the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection can be detected in milder cases and whether this can reveal possible mechanisms contributing to brain pathology. Here, we investigated brain changes in 785 participants of UK Biobank (aged 51–81 years) who were imaged twice using magnetic resonance imaging, including 401 cases who tested positive for infection with SARS-CoV-2 between their two scans—with 141 days on average separating their diagnosis and the second scan—as well as 384 controls.

The UK Covid-19 Inquiry has been set up to examine the UK’s response to and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and learn lessons for the future.
Covid Impact of Multiple Organs

Beyond the acute illness: Exploring long COVID and its impact on multiple organ systems
The emergence of COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has significantly impacted human health on a global scale. Since the first reported case in December 2019, the virus has spread rapidly across the globe, infecting millions of individuals and leading to widespread morbidity and mortality.
Although COVID-19 primarily affects the respiratory system, emerging evidence indicates that it may also harm other organs, including the cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, and renal systems, resulting in chronic complications in some people. These post-COVID-19 complications are known as long COVID or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).
Virus induced senescence

Virus-induced senescence: A therapeutic target to mitigate severe progression of SARS-COV-2
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in a severe global public health catastrophe, with COVID-19 being the 3rd largest cause of death in the U.S.A, ranked only behind heart disease and cancer. There were also significant economic costs with the measures put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, first identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. New strains have emerged throughout the pandemic that differ in transmission efficiency, virulence, and vaccine susceptibility, thus complicating the spread of the pandemic.

What SARS-CoV-2 Does to the Body
What SARS-CoV-2 Does to the Body (2nd Edition, July 2023)
Published by the Pandemic Accountability Index, July 7, 2023
Last November, we posted a compilation of over a hundred studies and articles on how the SARS-CoV-2 virus can harm the body. It’s been a little over six months since then, and a lot more research has been published since then. So, it’s long overdue to revisit our understanding of why it’s just so important to prevent infections from a deadly & disabling virus that has ended and upended the lives of millions around the world – in Europe alone; the WHO is saying that over 36 million are suffering from Long COVID disability, an umbrella term for numerous medical complications.
Those who have insisted that SARS-CoV-2 is relatively harmless or “mild” or insisted that COVID-19 is “just a cold/flu” should be forced to contend with the ever-growing mountain of scientific research that has emerged as new discoveries continue to be researched to this day.
