Long Covid Isn’t What You Think. Your Body Is a Viral Time Bomb.
Long Covid might not be Covid at all. Research suggests SARS-CoV-2 weakens immune surveillance long enough to reactivate dormant viruses — Epstein-Barr, shingles, HHV-6 — that have been sleeping inside you for years. If you’re still sick months later and nobody knows why, you may be fighting the wrong virus. The real enemy isn’t at the gate. It’s already inside the walls.
