Sadly long-covid research is very underfunded. Doing a few thousand DNA tests is not that expensive.

- garganzol 2y agoCovid-19 is not a retrovirus. Otherwise, the people would not be able to reliably overcome it again and again. The same applies to post-covid - once you tame it by finding methods of correcting it, it goes away. I agree with you on necessity of further researches, but they require not only money, but also plenty of time, decades perhaps.
- throw38489595 2y ago> reliably overcome it again and again I would disagree with that. We are only a few years in, many people did not recover yet. And taking severe medication is not exactly "correction". There is a research that suggest some unusual COVID-19 variants are able to penetrate cell nucleus. That is why we need DNA sequencing studies! And not just on patients, but their microbiome as well! And I do not think it will take decades, but couple of years maybe months!
