Temporary hair loss has also been noted. Could this be a result of cessation of growth same as the nails show cessation of growth by producing horizontal ridges?

what other organs have their growth (ability to repair?) interrupted by covid?

I noticed I had lines on my nails about 30 years ago. Maybe I’ve had COVID for 30 years.

I don’t have any lines on my nails, but I do have starch in my shorts. Am I ok?

We’ve probably ALL had China virus, with herd immunity being reached MONTHS ago.

If this assumption has any merit, anyway.

No. You probably have lines everywhere under your shorts, from scratching. ;D

Covid is not the only reason for horizontal nail ridges. Other illnesses can also cause it.

I can’t read the article, because I won’t agree to cookies; are the lines up and down the nails, or across?

Unless they are types of lines that dont correspond to other multiple potential problems that can cause lines in your nails, it would be dificult to conclusively say it was due to covid.

vertical lines are normal, especially as one ages.

This refers to horizontal ridges - going across the nail like speedbumps, as opposed to going down a nail

Use plenty of baby powder. You’ll be OK.

Everything is a symptom of COVID.

I have an idea, let’s just presume everyone is infected all the time even if they don’t have symptoms and quarantine the entire country.

Oh.... wait.....

Most of what I see and hear about COVID is BS. IMO, it’s been a Leftist joke for a long time.
