A ceramic vine clutches a pot containing dahlias and is the perfect detail for this porch. Designer Ronald Grimaldi says 'I wanted to create a cool, refreshing 'living porch' where people can relax, dine, read, drink, and meet in comfortable and luxurious surroundings.

Abstract
Background
Case reports have described herpes zoster (HZ) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, this constitutes low-quality evidence for an association. We therefore performed a retrospective cohort study to assess the risk of developing HZ following a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Methods
We compared the HZ incidence in ≥50-year-olds diagnosed with COVID-19 vs those never diagnosed with COVID-19. We used data from the US MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicare Supplemental (3/2020–2/2021) and Optum Clinformatics Data Mart (3–12/2020) databases. Individuals with COVID-19 were exact-matched 1:4 to those without COVID-19 by age, sex, presence of HZ risk factors, and health care cost level. Adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRRs) were estimated by Poisson regression.
Results
A total of 394 677 individuals ≥50 years old with COVID-19 were matched with 1 577 346 individuals without COVID-19. Mean follow-up time after COVID-19 diagnosis and baseline characteristics were balanced between cohorts. Individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 had a 15% higher HZ risk than those without COVID-19 (aIRR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.07–1.24; P < .001). The increased HZ risk was more pronounced (21%) following COVID-19 hospitalization (aIRR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.03–1.41; P = .02).
Conclusions
We found that COVID-19 diagnosis in ≥50-year-olds was associated with a significantly increased risk of developing HZ, highlighting the relevance of maintaining HZ vaccination.

I might be in a lot of pain from this fucking shingles infection, but on the other hand my little goober-kitty is adorably curled up in her chair all cozy. She is a perfect little sphere of cat and her little paw is twitching in her sleep. I'm glad she's comfortable, at least.
