> 
> Granted that I am currently undergoing chemotherapy, so I am in the

> While Covid spreads via respiratory means, Covid is a vascular disease,

> 
> This is why the effects of Long Covid cover a very wide range of symptoms,

> There has been a great increase in the number of people aged between early
