Studies

A study shows that the coronavirus can directly attack and kill heart cells, potentially settling a longstanding scientific debate.

Direct Attack

Just when you thought the coronavirus couldn't get any worse.

Study: COVID-19 Can Kill Heart Cells

Preliminary data suggests that the coronavirus variant P.1 is capable of reinfecting people who already survived COVID-19.

Zoom, the increasingly-popular video conferencing program, has extremely flawed cybersecurity in place. Companies like SpaceX have already banned it.

Zoom Out

Even more, there are ways to prevent it — or at least mitigate its damage.

New studies show that people who already recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies in their system get "robust" protection from a single Pfizer dose.

One And Done

This is actually great news, for a change.

Single Pfizer Dose “Robust” For Those Who Have Had COVID

When scientists took a closer look at a baby with COVID-19, they found that the kid caught a previously-undiscovered variant and had a massive viral load.

Severe cases of COVID-19 might lead to the formation of growths called nodules behind people's eyeballs, but scientists aren't yet sure what that means.

Eye Infections

"If persisting, [they] might potentially lead to severe vision loss or even blindness."

Severe COVID-19 Might Lead to Strange Growths Behind the Eyes

British scientists are cleared to begin a human challenge study on the coronavirus, in which volunteers are willingly infected in a controlled environment.
