  1. Dear Dr Campbell, Thank you for this videocast which shows why listening to you to take precautions is worth its weight in gold. Our hearts go out to the Covid long-haulers. I know one person who has not the strength to write letters and she's been ill since last March. Sadly, I think you may have hit the nail on the head at about 5 minutes into your talk: organ damage. What has undoubtedly happened is that even with mild systoms in the first initial phase, the deadliest virus to hit the planet in a century also goes for the organs like the brain, nervous system, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and only God knows what else. So; what am I saying? I believe that the Covid long-haulers have been hit where the nerve-signals tp certain organs have been altered. They are no longer getting the necessary signals from the nervous system that allowed the organs to function---that were essential for normal behaviour. The control mechanisms to keep organs functionning normally have possibly been damaged only for a short time, but it doesn't help people who feel a part of their body is burning up, or that they can't think straight or they can't help feeling like a weight is on their chest, or they can't even get out of bed for more than a few hours. It's beyond sad; it's tragic. But is sounds like an nuron's electrical circuit has been cut. I'm only speculating or suggesting that Covid-19 has probably hit the brain stem and knocked out the usual decision making process of the brain making 400 decisions a second to keep a human being functionning normally. For the unfortunate Covid-19 long haulers, certain chanels of their nervous systems have been hi-jacked. The question is now of course, how can we get those signals going to the right organs by using other chanels? It may be that like a bi-pass operation, the people suffering from Covid-19 long haul are going to have to get other connections to fire so that they can get their normal lives back. We have to believe this is possible: of course it's possible, but that's of little consolation to those whose lives have been turned on end.
