There's a good chance you have a virus called CMV. It might seem to have no effect – or it might be life-changing.

SARS-COV-2 causes immunopathology: the effects of COVID upon T-cells & other parts of immune system mean direct & indirect harm, lower protection against other infectious & non infectious diseases (recurrence of chronic infections, control of new cancer, recurrence of old cancer)

T cells die and get depleted

If you dysregulate this you can get things like lymphoproliferation or cancers with too little death, and depletion with too much

Don't annoy me with people in denial about T cell death signatures

The findings are robust in Covid-19
