Viral persistence inside gastrointestinal epithelium cells infected with SARS-COV will shed evidence of viral persistence until the epithelium cells occur natural apoptosis and regenerate. @fitterhappierAJ explains exactly the long term outcomes for t-cells of viral persistence!

““You can find lots of chronic infections — people that are probably infected for over a year — where the virus hasn’t changed at all” - @SolidEvidence
Friendly reminder your immune system dysfunction doesn’t have a pain indicator.

The viral persistence and reproduction from SARS infection in renal epithelium cells can last 500-787 days - IFF there’s no re-infection!
Re-infection not only resets the clock it produces genetic recombination opportunities via airborne transmission.

Viral particles shed via fecal matter are not viable beyond the acute phase. Orofecal transmission via poor hand hygiene or contamination of water is only possible during the acute phase.

This person who has viral persistence is likely under the age of 30 (male) or 35 (female) and has no clue they are walking around with their beans spilling out. That’s they are going to die of cancer or some other autoimmune disease within 10 years.

The declaration of the end of the pandemic means research for a test that could provide this person with knowledge to obtain treatment to prevent severe permanent immune system damage - is not going to be funded!

Everyone is vulnerable to persistent SARS infection.

We don’t have a cure for #LongCovid #incurable

SARS doesn’t need to kill you, to prevent you from living.

Twitter is the only place you will hear this & “wear n95 grade PPE with eye protection for your own health & safety”.
