Whilst I was expecting the usual pangram puzzle (Cephas’ trademark) we were left lacking a ‘K’. There were, however, a couple of clues that caused great rumblings from ‘bloggers on the day some justified and some, perhaps not. In my opinion this week’s Saturday Prize Puzzle from Cephas was an improvement on the last couple of weeks (particularly the Cryptic Definitions). The findings line up fairly well with those from a UK Office for National Statistics bulletin released May 6, though in that smaller study, the two variants’ risk of long COVID was comparable in boosted individuals.Daily Telegraph Cryptic No 26265 A full review by GnomethangīD Rating – Difficulty ** – Enjoyment ***Īfternoon, All!. The difference in long COVID risk between the two variants was greatest among people who were vaccinated at least six months prior to infection, with Omicron associated with about one-quarter the long COVID rate of Delta. ![]() But among the vaccinated adult app users, who skewed slightly female (55 percent of Omicron cases analyzed and 59 percent of Delta cases), 4.5 percent of Omicron cases resulted in lasting COVID symptoms, while 10.8 percent of Delta cases did. There was not enough data available from unvaccinated individuals or children to include those populations in the study. Participants were considered to have long COVID if they reported symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, or heart problems more than four weeks after the start of acute COVID-19. In all, the researchers obtained data from 56,003 people who tested positive for COVID-19 during the Omicron wave (defined by the researchers as December 20, 2021–March 9, 2022) and 41,361 who tested positive during the Delta wave (June 1, 2021–November 27, 2021). The data came from the COVID Symptom Study app, which is run by King’s College London researchers and allows people to report symptoms and test results. See “ Mechanisms of Long COVID Remain Unknown but Data Are Rolling In” The research, published online yesterday (June 16) as a letter in The Lancet, claims to be the first large-scale study to examine the risk of developing long COVID from an Omicron infection. Self-reported data from nearly 100,000 people in the UK indicate that COVID-19 cases caused by the Delta variant were 2.4 times more likely to result in long COVID than those caused by Omicron.
