No more COVID bans: Free condoms in abundance at Paris Olympics
Quick Glance: Paris 2024 Olympics: Intimacy Ban Lifted, Extensive Condom Stock in Olympic Village
  • Authorities have made the decision to lift the intimacy ban for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris and equip the Olympic Village with a substantial supply of condoms, as revealed by Olympic Village's director, Laurent Michaud, in an interview with Sky News.

  • In the recent Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, regulations concerning intimacy were enforced.

  • Stringent measures were taken to prevent the spread of the virus, with athletes being instructed to minimize their physical contact and maintain an appropriate distance from each other.

  • Since the Seoul Olympics in 1988, it has become customary to provide condoms at the Games to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.

Severe Flu Confers Higher Risk for Neuro Disorders vs COVID
Quick Glance: Hospitalization for Influenza Associated with Higher Risk of Neurological Disorders
  • An analysis of 77,300 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to 77,300 hospitalized with influenza revealed that those with influenza had a greater risk of subsequent neurologic disorders such as migraine, stroke, or epilepsy.

  • Participants hospitalized with COVID-19 were significantly less likely in the following year to require medical care for migraine, epilepsy, neuropathy, movement disorders, stroke, and dementia compared to influenza patients.

  • After considering age, sex, and other health conditions, individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 had a lower risk of needing medical care for migraine, epilepsy, and neuropathy than those with influenza.

  • "The results were surprising as they indicate that hospitalization due to COVID does not lead to increased care for common neurologic conditions compared to hospitalization due to influenza," stated lead researcher Brian C. Callaghan, MD, from the University of Michigan.
