Treating long COVID: An aspect of covid that has somehow been lost in the conversation is the initial effects of actual covid. I well remember the scans and xray shots of known cases of c19 that showed different levels of lung damage, especially to the alveoli in one or both lungs. A minor covid case would show a little damage in one lung, then more all the way up to losing an entire lung. And one doesn’t recover from dead alveoli. Thus, to me anyway, “long covid” is a result of that permanent lung damage. I keep hearing about various levels of Pneumonia which goes along with that. Early on there were reports of lung transplants to overcome the damage.

There are no doubt, other things that are being called long covid. Damage from the clotshots might be called long covid but that would seem to be a corruption of the original problem. It’s tough trying to understand what’s actually being described?
