i've had a number of scans. i've seen a number of specialists. none of them can give me any answers when it comes to doctors. i'd say at worst, you know, you get doctors that simply don't levy, they don't believe that long period exists. and at best doctors they kind of shrugged shoulders and they say, well, it's a new, a new illness. we don't know what to do. studies are under way to understand the damage to the lungs, heart and brain that lead to long cove. it with researches in katara reporting a breakthrough away of diagnosing the condition by looking for nerve damage in the i know piper loss is as a consequence of multiple nero degenerative diseases. but there is a peculiar pattern in here, which is that we are seeing these immune cells, which we don't see in a lot of the newer degenerative conditions. so there is something that is additional that we're finding here, which is nerve loss and activation of immune cells which may be more specific to

long coded. as the pandemic goes on, this memorial wall on the banks of the river thames in london, will continue to fill up with the names of those who lost their lives to coven 19. what isn't remembered here? of course, are the more than 3000000 people in the u. k, who say they're living with the symptoms of long coded for which there currently is no cure. but for which there may now be the important 1st step of diagnosis or anything that can be used as some kind of biomarker for long kind of it is massively helpful because not only does it give some insight into what is going on and potentially down the line the, the treatment because that's what we want is effective treatments the in this nightmare. but also it says to those doctors that deny the existence of long code that the thing of course it, we'll look at the science a glimmer of hope in an ordeal. so far without end jona whole al jazeera london, ah,
