Some COVID-19 patients aren't getting better. Major medical centers are trying to figure out how to help.

Amy Watson, 47, is one of those patients. She's had a fever, she said, for more than 100 days.

She was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April, about a month after her symptoms — cough, congestion and extreme fatigue — began. Now, those symptoms have evolved into weeks of low-grade fever and a burning sensation under her skin.

Watson's illness was never severe enough to warrant hospitalization. Instead, her symptoms have lurked in the background, never fully resolving

Dr. Jessica Dine, a lung doctor at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, said she began noticing a subset of COVID-19 patients whose symptoms lingered long after their diagnoses thanks to a hospital program called COVID Watch, a texting service that does daily check-ins with COVID-19 patients at home.

If Dine and her team are able to rule out other causes, they have two hypotheses for what's going on. The first is that it's possible that the virus is still somewhere in the body, undetectable through testing. The other is that the virus is gone from the body but patients are experiencing what's referred to as post-viral inflammatory syndrome, in which the body's immune system remains "revved up" even after the virus goes away.

Dr. Seheult seems to be credible and he is an excellent lecturer. His COVID-19 series is excellent.

His Update #59 is worth watching. You will get the dosage regimen the doctor recommends.

Coronavirus Pandemic Update 59: Dr. Seheult's Daily Regimen (Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC)

Unfortunately, the morons at YouTube took down several of his scientific lectures because he was assessing HCZ.

I have heard of it, endlessly. Mysterious shit is great because it can be anything and do anything and nobody can gainsay it or argue about it. So yeah let’s add stupid mysterious shit to the evil covid. What the hell, we can be dealing with it for the rest of our lives...or until a Democrat is elected...Then I guarantee you won’t hear a damn thing about it.
