Stanford researchers have found signs of inflammation, genetic changes and impaired circuitry in the brains of people killed by COVID-19, important clues to the mysterious “brain fog” and mental struggles reported by many patients. The research also reveals haunting similarities between the brains of those killed by COVID-19 and other degenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

People sometimes called "long haulers" experience long Covid, post-Covid conditions, post-Covid syndrome -- there's no settled name. There's also no diagnostic test, no specific treatment, no pill to take. And while research is ongoing, there aren't large, peer-reviewed, gold-standard clinical trials yet either. Some people get better on their own over time, or symptoms can be treated, but for others, recovery remains elusive.

As the nation edges closer to President Biden’s goal of a 70 percent vaccination rate, many people are beginning to wonder how long their protection will last. For now, scientists are asking a lot of questions about COVID-19 booster shots, but they don’t yet have many answers. Although many scientists estimate that the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will last at least a year, no one knows for sure. It’s also unclear whether emerging variants of the coronavirus will change our vaccination needs. Grace Lee, MD, Stanford Medicine professor of pediatrics, provides comment.

In January 2020, just weeks after the first Covid-19 cases emerged in China, the full genome of the new coronavirus was published online. Using this genomic sequence, scientists scrambled to design a large assortment of diagnostic tests for the virus. But the virus has mutated since then. And as the coronavirus has evolved, so has the landscape of testing. Gary Schoolnik, MD, Stanford Medicine clinician and professor of medicine, explains that if a test misses someone who is infected by a variant, then that person may not realize they need to isolate and the test can contribute to the spread of the variant.
