Cause of long COVID has finally been identified by scientists (1 Viewer)

Ever feel like you just can't shake off that lingering fatigue even after recovering from COVID? You're not alone. Millions of people experience long COVID, a frustrating collection of symptoms that persist long after the initial infection. Now, research from the University of Cambridge suggests a surprising culprit: low iron levels.
Iron is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron is also important for growth, development, normal cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones and connective tissue.
We get iron from certain plant and animal foods, such as red meat and poultry. Plant-based sources contain non-heme iron, which is not absorbed as efficiently as the heme iron found in animal products.
However, you can enhance the absorption of non-heme iron by consuming it with vitamin C or with animal proteins. COVID can disrupt how the body manages iron, causing either iron deficiency or abnormal iron storage. This can make the infection worse and affect recovery.

This is very interesting. Apparently covid interrupts the gene that manages iron in the body. They are finding that inflammation and anemia is what causes long covid.

I highly recommend reading the article to get the information.

It looks like covid does damage to more than just the lungs. It's also people's brain and now even people's genes.

trump was so lying. Covid isn't just a cold or the flu.

Worse, he knew he was lying when he said it.

It is unsurprising that it could impact people’s genes. Viruses are basically genetic material inside proteins, iirc.

hell it was wiling to spread it to everyone because of his vanity and also Let is groupies die because he would not endorse the vaccine.

If Covid was swarthy people in turbans, Trump would have been shot for treason already.

Anyone with a HS level of biology education knew he was lying too. Corona viruses which cause the
common cold were know about for many years. The difference was Covid is a common cold that
can kill you. It's not even closely related to the influenza virus,and warm weather won't kill it. When he said
it all I could do was shake my head in disbelief.

What was intriguing to me was, iirc, the actual name which is SARS CoVid 2. SARS caused a real scare in East Asia previously. This was a SARS virus as well.

His handling of the pandemic was the worst in the world. We had the worst outcomes.

trump totally dismantled and destroyed the system that the bush boy started and Obama finished. A system that contains diseases where the first outbreak happens. It worked well. We didn't have a worldwide pandemic of Ebola or other diseases. Several were contained where they started.

One of the reasons why covid was able to kill so many people is because trump totally dismantled the whole worldwide system. If he had not done that, chances are covid would have been contained in China.

When I saw trump allow thousands of Americans to come back here without testing them, without isolating them, I knew it was going to be bad.

We all learned in high school the basics of isolating a disease so that it doesn't spread. Unfortunately that wasn't followed with covid. So it was allowed to run rampant through out nation. trump lied about the whole thing.

My favorite aunt died of covid in the first wave on April 14, 2020.

trump is responsible for every covid death in America as far as I'm concerned. If not the world. He was the one who ended the system that kept the world safe from pandemics.

we also saw that he refused to wear a mask because it would smear his grease. he also made it political he put the worst people in charge a slum lord and a dog groomer of all people. then they figured democrat states would get it the worst so no national response and it turned out 4.5 times more republicans died from covid. we saw right wing media where were vaccinated tell lies to make money and kill their own viewers. we saw preachers kill their own flock. all because Trump chose to let that happen while demanding praise for his horrible leadership.
