A number of days ago I had a conversation with the basic scientist who is doing research into the after effects of COVID-19.To make a long story short she intimated that the clotting mechanism of a human who has had the disease is apparently unalterably changed, possibly forever. She began to explain the specifics to me, and although I tried to pay attention, I became totally lost in the detail. It did not sound good, and she did state that this was the equivalent of the long-term pulmonary issues those who lived downwind from the WTC collapse. She suggested that gene therapy might be an answer, but since she didnt know what the real question was, this is a mystery which needs a solution...and quickly. She noted as well that the pathology associated with the lungs is rarely mentioned due to the fact that the medical establishment is rife with lying and failure to disclose. Shes pretty senior, so Im taking her word for everything at this juncture.

I couldn't tell if that was part of your point, or just that in general there's a whole bunch of stuff on the periphery of our COVID19 knowledge that is still not well understood.
