Extremely compelling

Dr Proal packs a LOT of useful and cutting edge information about her group’s latest research into covid persistence in body tissue (among other things). Most exciting are some of the hints she gives near the end about possible antiviral treatment models. Her enthusiasm for this research is “infectious” and should give renewed hope to those suffering from Long Covid. NIH, listen up!!
