City Doctors Blame ‘Long Covid’ For Severe Viral Infections That Have Laid Kolkata Low

A past history of ‘long or severe' Covid may have led to long-term weakening of respiratory and immune functions, making thousands in the city more vulnerable to recurrent infections, say doctors.

Long Covid Hits UK Economy Harder Than Most Other Countries
Long Covid Hits UK Economy Harder Than Most Other Countries
“Britain’s economy is still suffering from long Covid. The unmatched spike in public debt, the 1.2 million extra people on sickness benefits, the record postwar tax burden, the bulging size of the state and — above all — weak economic growth are the lasting symptoms of decisions taken during the pandemic. But some of the harm was purely accidental.”

The Gut-Centric Pathogenesis of Long COVID: A Synthesis of Mechanistic and Clinical Evidence Linking SARS-CoV-2, Microbiome Dysbiosis, and Post-Acute Sequelae

The gastrointestinal tract is a central driver of Long COVID pathogenesis, w/ SARS-CoV-2 infecting intestinal cells and causing inflammation, microbiome dysbiosis, and more.

Persistent viral reservoirs in the gut lead to systemic and metabolic disruption.

New study shows Long Covid is marked by dendritic cell and monocyte dysfunction. Classic TCM formulas like Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang & Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan may restore APC integrity & immune balance by modulating cytokines, Qi, & metabolism.

Inside long COVID’s war on the body: Researchers are trying to find out whether the virus has the potential to cause cancer - Carolyn Barber
“Extensive tissue damage, chronic inflammation, low levels of oxygen in the tissues, oxidative stress, impaired T-Cell responses, & elevated levels of cytokines are all mechanisms through which, it is postulated, SARS-CoV-2 may increase the risk of cancer development."

“But it really messed with my smell and taste. I’d say I’m a longCOVID person. I had all the brain fog… people were like, 'You are in menopause,’ and I would be like, 'Yeah, but this is different because I’m looking at a rolling pin and I can’t name it.’”
