    Had to write a reference for someone EgoHealth and I'm amused to see that they have a 'chief of staff':

    "Bob and I are now officially in the same 'Family' as the Grand Wizard of EgoHealth." This make me more than a "little bit nauseous," but so be it. I'm looking forward to the in-person meetings.

    Probably the most jarring COVID abstract I have read in a paper I just got for review for Nature Medicine: _"Here, from 273 COVID-19 patients, we identified six cases of reinfection based on clinical, phylogenic, virological, serological, and epidemiological data. During the secondary episode, we observed re-emergence of COVID-19 symptoms, new pulmonary lesions on CT images, increased viral load, and secondary humoral immune responses. More importantly, reinfection occurred not only in patients with inadequate or loss of immunity after the primary infection, but also in patients with measurable levels of neutralizing antibodies."_I need to look more carefully tomorrow morning, but on first glance the paper looks solid... This would not be good tosay the least.

    Are the genomes different? Could these be chronic infections?

    I guess they are different given '_phylogenic'._
