@mackayim2022 it’s not a good analogy. What is useful to understand though is the potential impact that an uncommon immune disregulation can have at the population level as we discovered recently with EBV.
@PieterPeach And when we have data on what that post infection impact is, on humans, over time, that will be good. Ex vivo and in vitro is not that. Unless such studies already exist?
I'm unclear what it is, exactly, that you're looking for. Google "COVID immune dysregulation" and go through some of the studies. I think the lack of naive T and B cells is pretty important.
Honestly, a lot of it is above my biology knowledge pretty frequently, but @fitterhappierAJ and @LeonardiBot are pretty helpful at explaining it and what the possible repercussions might be. So far many of Dr Leonardi's projections from 2020 have been pretty spot on.
