LjLfinely[m], yeah i just hope it's not a myth we're unwittingly perpetuating. i mean i "heard" it too but definitely not from studies, for all i know i could have heard it from you and you from me :P00:26
LjLit's the kind of thing that one hopes is true00:26
de-factobtw long covid is quite common in recoveries00:35

de-factoi would be curious if living in city would increase the probability of long COVID compared to living at a farm or such00:50
de-factoalso about the prevalence of long COVID in first world countries compared ot third world countries00:57
de-factofrom the nature article00:59
de-facto"Scientists are very interested in understanding whether autoimmunity is linked to long COVID, too. “First of all, we don’t know if these autoantibodies contribute to long COVID, but if they do, what is the longevity? How long will they last? How long is the body going to keep producing those antibodies?” Ring says. But answering these questions is a complicated endeavour, because people naturally produce many different kin00:59
de-factods of antibody, including autoantibodies."00:59
de-facto"Ring hopes that research into viruses and autoimmunity will eventually get much-needed answers for individuals with post-viral autoimmunity, which might include those with COVID-19. “These patients are just so frustrated,” he says. “Their physicians don’t believe them and so they get psych referrals. Just to be able to tell these people they have a real disease and here’s what’s causing it — that would be really meaningful.01:00
de-facto”"01:00
de-factoalso there might possibly be small pockets and or "sanctuaries" where SARS-CoV-2 was not fully neutralized01:03
de-facto.title https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03207-w01:03
Brainstormde-facto: From www.nature.com: Evolution of antibody immunity to SARS-CoV-2 | Nature01:03
de-facto" Immunofluorescence and PCR analyses of intestinal biopsies obtained from asymptomatic individuals at 4 months after the onset of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) revealed the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids and immunoreactivity in the small bowel of 7 out of 14 individuals. We conclude that the memory B cell response to SARS-CoV-2 evolves between 1.3 and 6.2 months after infection in a manner that is consistent with antigen01:04
de-factopersistence."01:04
de-factoi would probably try to get an analysis of blood for deficits (minerals, vitamins etc), get an mRNA vaccination (to lead immune system on the correct way, increase neutralizing antibodies etc) and try to live extra healthy (very good nutrition, regular day-night rhythm, daily sports, cold showers, sauna, also maybe do something "dirty" in the nature (to expose immune system to other stimulation))01:15
de-factowho knows, maybe one day we even might have mRNA therapies against autoimmune issues01:25
