Something I never seem to hear explained: What IS long COVID. Is it damage to lungs, is it a change in the behavior of the immune system, is it something that happens in the cells? Where in the body is it hiding? Is this something we just don't know yet?
I did hear something on the radio (which is probably the least appealing source but I'm sure you can find others) suggesting it was inflammation of a part of the brain and similar to chronic fatigue
