I'm a bit exhausted to repeat this. But #LongCovid | covid are among the best studied diseases in history. In addition to the sheer amount of studies, a lot of research has been done with some of the most advanced techniques in biomedical research. Let's have a look!

Brightest X-rays on Earth expose covid damage to the lung | the innovative imaging technique can pick up micrometre-scale of organs
@Nature | November 2021

In @NatGeo | January 2022 | a long but accessible read on the implementation of cutting-edge technology and scanning techniques to explore the vascular nature of covid

Another cutting-edge scanning technique, polarized Xenon MRI, has revealed long-term damage to the lung after SARS-CoV-2 infection

This is just a short thread to show how some of the most innovative techniques available on earth have already been applied to covid and #LongCovid since 2020 and 2021. Surely, further research can be developed! Not all available studies will be perfect or leading to treatment
However, even this brief review shows that claims that covid and #LongCovid are "mysterious" entities are unfounded. There is a lot of research going on. We need to translate research into treatment. But the knowledge is being built right now.
People, especially those with a degree in medicine, or those employed in academic or research positions, should really work on reading the publications in their own field before speaking about #LongCovid as "rare" or "mysterious". Alternatively, they can simply avoid the topic!
I add here another 🧵 I have been compiling with many publications on #LongCovid including cardiovascular disease, and many other effects in multiple organs. I hope it's useful to keep up with growing data on the disease
And I add here another 🧵 on cardiovascular disease and complications in #LongCovid
With a lot of publications and case studies
And I add here another 🧵 on #LongCovidKids the long term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on children. There are many publications on this topic too. Long Covid in children is also increasingly documented and studied
