Dec. 28, 2021 -- The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can spread to
the heart and brain within days of infection and can survive for
months in organs, according to a new study by the National Institutes
of Health.
The virus can spread to almost every organ system in the body, which
could contribute to the ongoing symptoms seen in long COVID
patients, the study authors wrote. The study is considered one of the
most comprehensive reviews of how the virus replicates in human cells
and persists in the human body. It is under review for publication in
the journal Nature.
This is remarkably important work, Ziyad Al-Aly, MD, director of the
Clinical Epidemiology Center at the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health
Care System in Missouri, told Bloomberg News. Al-Aly wasnt involved
with this study but has researched the long-term effects of COVID-19.
For a long time now, we have been scratching our heads and asking why
long COVID seems to affect so many organ systems, he said. This
paper sheds some light and may help explain why long COVID can occur
even in people who had mild or asymptomatic acute disease.
The NIH researchers sampled and analyzed tissues from autopsies on 44
patients who died after contracting the coronavirus during the first
year of the pandemic. They found persistent virus particles in
multiple parts of the body, including the heart and brain, for as long
as 230 days after symptoms began. This could represent infection with
defective virus particles, they said, which has also been seen in
persistent infections among measles patients.
We dont yet know what burden of chronic illness will result in years
to come, Raina MacIntyre, PhD, a professor of global biosecurity at
the University of New South Wales, told Bloomberg News.
Will we see young-onset cardiac failure in survivors or early-onset
dementia? she said. These are unanswered questions which call for a
precautionary public health approach to mitigation of the spread of
this virus.
Unlike other COVID-19 autopsy research, the NIH team had a more
comprehensive post-mortem tissue collection process, which typically
occurred within a day of the patients death, Bloomberg News reported.
The researchers also used a variety of ways to preserve tissue to
figure out viral levels. They were able to grow the virus collected
from several tissues, including the heart, lungs, small intestine, and
adrenal glands.
Our results collectively show that while the highest burden of
SARS-CoV-2 is in the airways and lung, the virus can disseminate early
during infection and infect cells throughout the entire body,
including widely throughout the brain, the study authors wrote.

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.S. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://bit.ly/convince_it_forward (John

doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids that render current COVID
vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
