It’s interesting that COVID’s symptoms, including long Covid, are entirely the human bodies own doing. It’s all inflammatory. Long Covid is at least in part a demonstration of the connection between inflammatory pathways and metabolism. Common infection have been giving people CFS forever but finally the skeptics have been forced to shut up with Covid. The solution to Covid will come through research on long Covid and other research on inflammation and metabolism — the reason that diabetes, obesity etc corrrlate so well with poor Covid outcomes is because those things as well as inflammation and other fundamental pathways and mechanisms are being messed up by something. When you diet and exercise, all of the above including Covid outcomes improve. That’s why kids are the least impacted — because they are the healthiest. These problems get worse with age. Once we learn how to fix whatever is at the top of the diabetes, obesity, inflammation pyramid we will make ourselves able to coexist with the virus. Besides somehow eradicating the virus, this is the only solution. It will also mean people will have very few heart attacks and cancer should be massively reduced as well. We have a lot to look forward to. But it’s important to remember, this isn’t a Covid problem. It’s really an extension of the diabetes/obesity epidemic. The virus itself doesn’t hurt you.
