Review of organ damage from COVID and Long COVID: a disease with a spectrum of pathology

Long COVID, as currently defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other authorities, is a symptomatic condition that has been shown to affect an estimated 10 %–30 % of non-hospitalized patients after one infection.

If someone feels just fine after an acute infection, does that mean they were unscathed? NO!

"It is important to consider that many known adverse health outcomes, including heart conditions and cancers, can be asymptomatic until harm thresholds are reached."

"while Long COVID symptoms are associated with organ damage, there are many individuals that have organ damage without displaying recognized symptoms"

"Recent studies have shown that well over 50 % of people, in some reports 70 % or more, who have contracted SARS-COV-2 suffer damage to their organs"
