Is THIS What's Causing Long Covid? | Viral Persistence at 4 Months - New Study

In a recent pre-print study investigating the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, the authors discovered 50% of their asymptomatic sample had persistent active virus in the small intestine 3-4 months after infection.

The implications of this are huge, and along with a recent paper linking the novel coronavirus to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome - this could start to explain the huge range of symptoms long haulers are experiencing - and why they're not getting better.

In this film I attempt to put together a 'Theory of Everything' - could this be the pathology we've been trying to understand for Long Covid?
