    This article from Chemical and Engineering news by Shi En Kim was so thorough and well researched, I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

    quote:

    About 10% of those who contract the virus end up with several of long COVID-19’s 200 documented symptoms. The most debilitating of these include the prolonged physical exhaustion known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS); cognitive impairment; and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome(POTS), which involves the dysregulation of the body’s background systems, such as heart rate. Some eventually recover fully, but many are still grappling with the aftereffects.
