While it's not new that infections in early life are associated with Type-1-Diabetes, I was sceptical when early studies showed a large increase immediately after Corona.

But the evidence is getting stronger:

Two things:

1. The absolute risk is still low (https://xkcd.con1236)

2. Prevalence of T1D was already increasing, so a further increase will have a noticeable effect on health services. We'll need more diabetologists.
