Viable SarsCov2 viral proteins being found in the blood of people more than a year after infection, in some cases people without any long covid symptoms, obviously has very serious implications for blood donation and transfusion that no one wants to touch
@NateB_Panic @IsabellaBabic I am no expert - but that study shows viral proteins, not viable/infectious/complete viruses; embedded pockets of active virus are the likely source of those viral fragments, ja? So the blood itself is not carrying active virus . . . at least not yet. biospace.com/article/releas…
@JJason_DJ_FM_AM @NateB_Panic @IsabellaBabic Are you confident those proteins don’t disrupt our systems? There’s evidence already that some of the viral proteins are what cause some of the problems we see in LC.
@jeremiekoenig @vlotty @NateB_Panic @IsabellaBabic Agreed - #SARS2 persistence has seem to probable from the start, given what #SARS1 survivors are still going through. But it still looks like my nightmare of people sprouting pustules of infectious virus has not happened. Yet.
