This talks about how COVID-19 replicates faster than SARS, but that it is stealthier, and it seems to imply that it does far less lung damage.

The article above talks a out how injecting hamsters with material from hamsters that recovered from COVID-19 increased their immunity a lot. They're thinking about testing the same thing with humans. It also mentions how alarming the damage the virus did to the hamsters was.

The article talks about how T cells that touch COVID-19 viruses are taken hostage by the virus (but that new viruses aren't produced from the T cells).
Comparisons to HIV are made, as they both impact the immune system.
There is some confusion as to how some people are asymptomatic, and about cytokine storms.
SARS did not have this same impact on the immune system.

The article above begins talking about an Indian strain of the virus with a mutation that changes the way it binds with cells or some such, and how this could thwart current efforts to create a vaccine. Then it says some really interesting stuff you won't find on Google's news. It says the virus mutates at the same rate as the flu (which is contrary to what I've read in the past), and that there are thousands of mutations of COVID-19 in the world. (Well … That puts new insight into the situation, and might explain why people can get it more than once.) Then they go back to talking about the original topic, and say that maybe the specific mutation that could thwart vaccines was just a sequencing error.

Here's an interesting article about Tourette Syndrome comorbidities, anxiety, and mood disorders: https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2015/03/123666/mood-anxiety-disorders-common-tourette-patients
For those who don't know (since I would have appreciated a definition some years ago), a comorbidity is where one has one or more other conditions in addition to the one at hand.

So, we have a lot of canned tomatoes. I've been stewing over what to do with canned tomatoes for a long time, now. I mean, if some emergency* happened and we had to use them without having access to things like meat, cheese and broth, we would probably need to know more to do with them than making pasta sauce, pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, ketchup, and traditional tomato soup. Tomatoes are one of our most preservable crops (so, a good recipe could really improve lives).
Enter non-traditional tomato soup! (But there's also meatless chili, and lentils with tomatoes.)
Directions:
• Thoroughly blend up a quart of practicaly dry-farmed, canned tomatoes.
• Blend in some baked, frozen Jerusalem artichokes (I imagine fresh ones would work, too); I added maybe 5 or 6 2" pieces of them
• Pour into a glass pot to cook
• Turn the heat on 6 or so. (You might prefer a lower heat, as it'll spit a lot. In fact, just baking it, covered, might be better, but I haven't tried it, yet.)
• Add parsley, pepper, and salt.
• Add one egg
• Add a little white bean flour! (maybe 1 to 1½ tablespoonfuls)
• Cook (stirring as you do so) until your confident that the bean flour and egg have been cooked long enough.
It hits the spot as a complete meal better than tomato soup without grilled cheese sandwiches. It doesn't taste like it needs broth added. The egg adds nice texture.
Interestingly, my teeth felt extra mineralized after eating this. However, it should be noted what else I've been eating, as the minerals in my body could have combined with the soup to add this effect. I've been taking a fair amount of kelp tablets for the last few days. I ate an apple and a banana earlier that day. I had leftover salmon patties (from canned salmon, with potatoes mixed into them) for lunch. I had the soup for dinner.
Yes, I think this recipe could be improved, but it's definitely a couple steps above some other tomato soup experiments I've done, for the stated purpose.
The bean flour seems to give it an almost chili-like quality, but it takes much less time than chili to cook.
We have a lot of beans and Jerusalem artichokes (AKA sunroots); so, the inclusion of those ingredients is nice. Looks like planting those for food security was a good idea.
*Fittingly, we're actually in one of those emergencies, now! Sort of: We could go to the store and buy stuff, but then we might get COVID-19. Note that we're out of bananas (the one I had had been around a long time) and milk.
Note: I'm posting here since the canned tomatoes I used included three species of tomatoes: L. lycopersicum, L. cheesmaniae, and L. pimpinellifolium.
