Long Covid and Recovery
Participant flow diagram. Flow diagram outlining the creation of the analytic sample for this study (N = 435) and the grouping of Long COVID (n = 215) vs Without Long COVID (n = 220) within the sample. Percentages were computed by dividing each n by the number of individuals in the preceding box
Long COVID and recovery from Long COVID: quality of life impairments and subjective cognitive decline at a median of 2 years after initial infection
Published November 05, 2024
Recovery from SARS CoV-2 infection is expected within 3 months. Long COVID occurs after SARS-CoV-2 when symptoms are present for more than 3 months that are continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive. Better understanding of Long COVID illness trajectories could strengthen patient care and support.

(Updated March 14, 2023)
Note from the COVID-19 and IBD Task Force:
The Crohn’s and Colitis Canada COVID-19 and IBD Task Force was formed in March 2020 when the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic was declared. The purpose of the Task Force was to:
- Assess the impact of COVID-19 on people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
- Interpret the rapidly evolving evidence of risk, vaccination and treatment of COVID-19 in people with IBD, and
- Provide the IBD community with educational resources and guidance.

Sick with COVID? What To Do
This is a facilitator’s guide for The Long COVID Game, an instructional game on the increasing risks of contracting Long COVID with repeated infections.
Overview
This short (<5min) instructional game can help illustrate the risks of repeated COVID infections and the chance of acquiring Long COVID. It was designed for large groups, such as a classroom of students. The goal is to communicate the benefits of wearing a respirator, such as an N95, to reduce the number of COVID infections and thus the risk of contracting Long COVID.

Sick with COVID? What To Do
You’re not alone. Most people recover from their initial infection. These recommendations will give you the best chance to recover and prevent others from being infected.

COVID Patients Exhale High Numbers of Virus
COVID Patients Exhale High Levels of Virus the First Eight Days
COVID patients exhale high numbers of virus during the first eight days after symptoms start, as high as 1,000 copies per minute, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study. It is the first longitudinal, direct measure of the number of SARS-CoV-2 viral copies exhaled per minute over the course of the infection — from the first sign of symptoms until 20 days after. On day eight, exhaled levels of virus drop steeply, down to near the limit of detection —an average of two copies exhaled per minute
Covid 19 and Bone Health
COVID-19 and Bone Health
Current evidence and reports indicate a direct relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and bone health, with SARS-CoV-2 having a significant negative effect on bone health. In this review, we analyzed the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on bone health and assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
How to Stop Covid from Spreading
We had COVID come into our home. How we stopped it from spreading
Author: Joey Fox, P. Eng, M.A.Sc @joeyfox85
We stopped COVID in our home! My wife felt sick early last week and then tested positive (RAT). Everyone in our family is now negative. My kids and I never got it. We didn’t resort to extreme measures like isolation or kids wearing N95s all day. This is how we did it.
Covid-19 Spread By Aerosols
COVID-19 is spread by aerosols (airborne): an evidence review
There are still many who argue strongly against the role of aerosols in the transmission of COVID-19. In general, I think these arguments clash with science and have significant logical inconsistencies. Before getting to the evidence that COVID-19 is spread by aerosols, let’s dispel a few widely held misconceptions.
