Excellent article. Thanks as always. I will speculate a little here. If T cell activation is essentially the same in those with long COVID and those who recover from infection, perhaps the vascular endothelial cell and nerve cell damage is not too different. Also, megakaryocytes, the precursors of platelets play a role in immune function, and from what I understand once infected, contribute to increased clotting. Increased vascular, nerve cell damage and prothrombotic state. Hmmm, wonder if that contributes to the sudden strokes, heart attacks, deaths and kidney liver and other organ damage in those ASSUMED to have recovered completely from a COVID infection?? Just pure rank speculation, you understand, Dr. Leonardi.:))

Sensei...

Glad you have returned to us...timely to say the least as the gates of hell appear to be opening again.
