@jheighton3 @edyong209 @SFU @pippsbc It has been so good! It will be worth the effort. As a #LongCovid patient since April 2020.

This has been one of the best and most accurate discussions I have watched. I have participated in forums/symposiums/summits all over the world looking for potential treatment options.
