Discussion The incidence of new seizures or epilepsy diagnoses in the 6 months after COVID-19 was low overall, but higher than in matched patients with influenza. This difference was more marked in people who were not hospitalized, highlighting the risk of epilepsy and seizures even in those with less severe infection. Children appear at particular risk of seizures and epilepsy after COVID-19 providing another motivation to prevent COVID-19 infection in pediatric populations.

G German pathologist Rudolf Virchow first proposed the link between inflammation and cancer in 1863 when he observed immune cells within tumor tissues. He famously described cancer as "the wound that doesn't heal". ' Japanese physician Katsusaburo Yamagiwa later confirmed this theory in 1915 by proving chronic irritation promotes tumor formation. • PubMed Cen... +2

While prevalence of long COVID is projected to remain below 1% from 2025 to 2035 (affecting 0.6-1.0% of the OECD and EU population), the direct healthcare costs for tackling long COVID - even under conservative assumptions - will remain high: around USD 11 billion a year.

Researchers have found that younger generations may be ageing faster internally, potentially increasing their risk. It's prompted renewed calls for earlier testing.

4.1. Enclosed spaces and aerosol-mediated transmission The MV Hondius shares structural characteristics with conventional cruise ships, notably its high density of windowless, airtight cabins reliant on central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Hantavirus virions, with a diameter of approximately 80 to 120 nm, fall within the respirable aerosol range and can remain viable for nearly 2 weeks at room temperature [9], [10]. The microclimate of cruise cabins and the HVAC system facilitate the persistence and rapid dissemination of viral aerosols throughout the vessel [11].

Protesters are attempting to forcibly retrieve the bodies of individuals who died from Ebola. They are also beginning to set fire to some of the hospital's facilities. The situation is extremely tense and requires urgent intervention from the competent authorities to secure the patients, medical staff, and health infrastructure,” explains a source on the scene.

Professor Gilbert also said the respirators can give people a ‘false sense of security’, especially if they are not fitted properly, and the potential for healthcare workers to use the respirators incorrectly means they are ‘likely to be more at risk’ than they would be if wearing a surgical mask. ‘It’s very important that they’re used properly – the reason we don’t want them used routinely is that they often aren’t,’ she said.
Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen She claims all the experts deny Ebola aerosol transmission & thus you don't need respiratory PPE. We've known this since the 90s you can kill monkeys via aerosol infection. No credible expert says "less respiratory PPE because droplet dogma." It's a lie.

2. Four health workers are among the dead; health workers are always at elevated risk in #Ebola outbreaks. 2 cases unlinked to each other have been confirmed in Kampala, the Uganda capital. And a confirmed case has been reported in the DRC capital, Kinshasa. Bad signs. • As of 16 May 2026, eight laboratory-confirmed cases, 246 suspected cases and 80 suspected deaths have been reported in Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo across at least three health zones, including Bunia, Rwampara and Mongbwalu. In addition, two laboratory confirmed cases (including one death) with no apparent link to each other have been reported in Kampala, Uganda, within 24 hours of each other, on 15 and 16 May 2026, among two individuals travelling from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On 16 May, a laboratory confirmed case has also been reported in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among someone returning from Ituri.
“No health risks to fear”: a Parisian middle school student, a contact case of hantavirus, was in class last week. The Île-de-France Regional Health Agency (ARS) informed families at the Lavoisier middle and high school (5th arrondissement) that a student identified as a contact case had attended class last week. All of their tests came back negative, ruling out any risk of transmission. By Véronique Hunsinger , Florent Hélaine and Auguste Canier May 15 , 2026 at 8:53 PM
