Does a sick gut microbiome let COVID-19 take hold, or does COVID-19 make your microbiome sick?
A new study out of NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine reports that infection with COVID-19 can encourage dangerous gut microbes to thrive.
If you got really sick from COVID, your gut could be to blame
Researchers show a molecular link between COVID-19 and serotonin cells in the gut, which could be key to understanding infection and severity of the virus.
COVID-19 can survive in the meat in your freezer for weeks, study says
Researchers have found that the virus can survive within various meat products people keep in their refrigerators or freezers for more than 30 days.
IBD treatment could also help prevent severe COVID-19 in patients

Severe COVID-19 linked to poor gut health
Research has uncovered the connection between severe COVID-19 cases and GI symptoms. Poor gut health can adversely affect how the body responds to the disease.
Harvard’s ‘intestine chip’ may help solve gut issues related to COVID
It is difficult to determine the actual effects COVID has on the gut because the interactions between the intestinal tissue and the virus are hard to study in humans.
