“[That] help explain persistent symptoms like chronic fatigue and shortness of breath, offering a new path for diagnosing and managing this condition.”

This tracks, my son’s lungs were damaged from RSV as a baby, and now so suspect he has mild Long Covid

"Compared to healthy controls, children and adolescents with long COVID had significantly reduced blood flow in the lungs. A reduction in blood flow patterns in organs or other areas of the body can result in a lack of sufficient oxygen and nutrients."

I wonder if reduced blood flow in children's lungs after a Covid infection could have been extrapolated and prevented, rather than allowed to happen and then confirmed.

Just google "Covid infection lungs" and tell me we could not have predicted this and should already be preventing Covid infections.

One study comes out saying black plastic kitchen utensils are toxic, the entire world discards their spatulas.

How many studies do we already have on Covid damaging lungs, and we can't even agree that a respirator works in healthcare because we need an RCT.

My working theory is that humans evolved to over-react to anthropic threats and ~ignore everything else. Evolutionary explanations are prima facie suspect, but threats from other humans were always important AND something we could deal with, while threats from non-human sources were rarer and...

...we have only been able to deal with them in any systematic way in the past 300 years. So "human-made a dangerous thing" triggers our defenses, "dangerous virus" does not. This is pure speculation, but it ~explains a lot, doesn't it? (like the focus on "lab origin" rather than fighting the virus.)

It's really f-ing hard not be cynical about all these studies.

We already have knowledge that Covid damages multiple organs, cumulative risks of infections and all we do is argue about it.

The experts are baffled, it's mysterious we need to confirm, we are not seeing, there's no evidence.

adults have long term damage as well - even those without LC. All this should scare the crap out of everyone...
