New research suggests
COVID stays in the body for months.
There are plenty of reasons why you should avoid COVID-19. One of these is the ability of the virus to
stay in different parts of the body for months.
The new study suggests that it can persist in vital organs, including
the heart and brain.
Most infections are
caused by bacteria and viruses. Bacteria
use the war of attrition to invade and destroy anything in their path. Meanwhile, viruses use a more stealthy
approach. By hijacking host cells,
viruses make more copies to conquer a host.
Full-blown invasion becomes known once new viral copies burst out of
infected cells. That said, a new study
revealed that SARS-CoV-2 may linger inside vital human organs after
infection. It suggested that after
recovering from COVID-19, the virus may spread and persist in the respiratory
tract and nearly every other organ for months.
In the preprint published on Research Square, researchers at the US
National Institutes of Health showed the “most comprehensive analysis to date”
of SARS-CoV-2’s persistence in the human body.
The team autopsied 44 patients who died either from or with COVID-19. They did the procedure to map and quantify
the distribution of the coronavirus across the body.
Here is The Hill article cited in the presentation, dated December 27, 2021. RNA from the virus was found up to 230 days after symptom onset. It has been reported that Lysine halts the coronavirus.
