Nearly 60% of those evidencing signs of Long CoVid have significant detectable organ damage. Investigators at University College, London studied 536 subjects with a mean age of 45 years looking at the prevalence of single and multi-organ impairment 6 and 12 months following CoVid infections. Only 13% of the group had required hospitalization the majority having milder infections.

The data shows that a full 59% of the group evidenced single organ damage while 27% suffered multi-organ damage. Evidence of long-term damage on imaging was found in the liver, pancreas, spleen as well as in the heart and lungs.

With CoVid case numbers receding, many have developed a cavalier attitude about protecting themselves from infection and reinfection by masking and avoiding crowds, particularly indoors. You do not want a CoVid infection let alone a reinfection. This virus is not a one-off experience. Evidence from this and other studies drives home the point that Covid has lifelong effects in your body, and that life may be much more miserable and shorter.
