Yes, because of course that explains the lung capacity issues. /s
I hate when issues are oversimplified beyond anything meaningful like this on the back of some newly published article.
I get what you're saying. Without more context that this finding is one piece of a bigger puzzle, you can look forward to your Aunt Crazytown confidently informing you at next Thanksgiving dinner that you can't breath well because you have a brain injury. It's 50% a lack of journalistic probing, and 50% all the lead paint the Boomers ate growing up.
That’s exactly it, long COVID is multiple problems in many damaged tissues. We’ve found a new damaged location, it doesn’t diminish the impact of everywhere else though like this article headline claims.
But that's not how research works.. research papers will often assess one very specific area.. there's no point in talking about all of the other ailments that are possible with Covid, because the research paper was exploring brain injury biomarkers ?
Eh, he's not commenting on the research though. He's commenting on the article. The headline says "Long COVID seems to be brain injury...", but we know that can't be the whole story. If the journalist were doing a better job, it should have said "Long COVID likely involves a brain injury...". They might have even asked the researchers how the brain injury theory could account for diminished lung capacity - but they didn't.
