triggered or caused by?

fascinating, thank you.

that makes sense, we must have so much new data on how viruses affects humanity as a whole because of the global testing going on so long for so many people.

Probably triggered. But we don’t really know.

what an exciting development we still have to look forward to.

Hopefully it’s something immunomodulators can fix. Fingers crossed.

I mean, it's probably some sort of autoimmune thing, where the infection causes the immune system to go haywire and attacks your own body.

That's so cool of immune systems, to sometimes do that.
