What if some of #LongCOVID’s answers are hiding in our tissues?

Prof Michael Peluso explains why he's studying tissue samples to uncover signals that blood tests may miss.
For patients and families, understanding what’s happening inside the body could be a crucial step towards better treatments

Games can be sense-making tools, allowing players to vicariously experience the risks of contracting COVID-19, recognize #LongCOVID’s most challenging symptoms, and connect with others amid an ongoing public health crisis.

“It’s possible, even likely, that one or more of the other explanations for longCovid’s pathology is … viral persistence leading to immune dysfunction, for example, which then prompts inflammation or interferes with mitochondria & causes cellular damage.”

it’s hubris to think it won’t happen to you
Perhaps surprisingly, Peluso was initially skeptical that viral persistence could be a key characteristic of long Covid. "We're really trained to conceive of most pathogens as transient, especially RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2," he told me. But when Peluso and his colleagues began analyzing tissue from LIINC participants, they were stunned to find the virus's RNA in the tissue of people with long Covid who were months or even years past their initial infection. "It was only when we started to see it in our own program that I began to realize that the truth might be more complicated than what the textbook said," he recalled. "When you're looking at that slide in front of you, it's quite remarkable."

📌 🧵 on how COVID's general presentation contributes to our continued disregard for its effects on public health. (I'll add that LongCOVID's main symptom being crippling fatigue also contributes to this--invisible disabilities trigger hostility more often than compassion) 👇🏽

1. I've said exactly this for quite some time. Expanding on Adrian's @sillyputty78.bsky.social point on X / Twitter here, Covid-19 has three distinct characteristics as a disease that enables it to be denied at a societal level.
If COVID resulted in everyone getting harmless, untreatable, utterly gross pustules covering their entire face for weeks we wouldn't still be in a pandemic.

The study used a 7T MRI.

The last week has seen direct and indirect denials of #LongCovid’s existence & attacks on the #LongCovid community.

In a world of denial, it’s not easy to know who supports us. Advocacy on social media & through community networks helps us weather these storms together.

At the top, bold white text reads ‘Pre-order now,’ followed by white text stating, ‘ Long Covid Awareness Day Enamel Pins’ In the center, there is a ribbon design with one teal side and one metallic silver side, featuring the words ‘LONG COVID SOS’ printed on the silver portion.
