This film discusses the latest evidence for (and against) viral persistence in Long Covid, and what it would take to establish a ‘smoking gun’ once and for all.
It is an extract from a presentation for the Overcoming Long Haul and CFS Summit, taking place from February 7th – 14th, 2023. It’s completely FREE to attend and watch all of the presentations live.
