Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert

There is new research out in Ontario, Canada in the past week. This interesting research has now identified what appears to be a problem for people with long Covid. When a person breathes in he or she is taking in oxygen and normally this transfers to the red blood cells. The research has identified that this process is not happening to the same degree as in the case of a person who has not had Covid or does not have any other medical condition. If that research is correct, does this lack of oxygen going into the system tie in with the problem identified by Dr. Lambert that people are having with the brain?
