Long Covid: A Parallel Pandemic

• phoobahr 4y ago
  Covid-19 is a vascular disease. Turns out several organs (not just lungs) have a lot of vascular area. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7556303/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7556303/ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcell.2022.824851/full https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcell.2022.8248... Similar to, say, an ABI but more so, there's no reason to think that cases would present identically. Complex systems-of-systems in homeostasis can be expected to have breakdown behaviour that clusters around some targets with a very very long tail of other less common features.

  Anyone know of any good population based studies that quantify the real amount of people with long COVID-19?

      Thanks. That is quite horrifying.
