The study is led by Professor Christopher Brightling, Dr. Rachael Evans, and Professor Louise Wain, National Institute for Health Research Leicester Biomedical Research Center, University of Leicester, UK and colleagues. more at link..................... Supplementary: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-04-cases-covid-abnormally-suppressed-immune.html Some cases of long COVID-19 may be caused by an abnormally suppressed immune system: A UCLA-led team of researchers studying the effect of the monoclonal antibody Leronlimab on long COVID-19 may have found a surprising clue to the baffling syndrome, one that contradicts their initial hypothesis.

MigL Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 I tested positive ( PCR ) for the original strain April 16th of last year. I got over it just about one year ago, and, you know, I don't feel quite the same yet. I feel like I've aged about a year. ( but my sense of humor has improved 😄 )

But in earnest, studies are only starting to look at the non catastrophic events (e.g. long-COVID, changes in immune responses etc) and it will take a while to figure out the overall health burden of the pandemic.
Area54 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Pessimist: What doesn't kill you, just weakens you for Nature's next attack. Optimist: As the end product of 3.5 billion years of evolution it will take more than a few spiky buggers to kill us off. Realist: That chap Putin seems to have more nukes than brain cells. Not ideal.
