- KMag 5y agoThe TLDR for the article is that it appears to be a combination of chromosomal and hormonal differences that are responsible for observed sex differences in autoimmunity. Are you asserting that a combination of chromosomal and hormonal differences are also responsible for the observed sex differences in incidence of long COVID? Or are you asserting that autoimmunity is directly involved in long COVID? Or, are you saying something else? It's an honest question. It's ambiguous what you're saying. Maybe you're saying something interesting, but it's difficult to tell without specifics.
- Miner49er 5y agoI'm not OP, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if long COVID is an autoimmune reaction or just people that developed autoimmune diseases from having COVID.
