Two Papers Imply COVID Could Mimic AIDS Long-term
Edited.
Spoke to a couple knowledgeable people.
They considered the ideas but neither thought they were plausible.
Covid attacks your immune system like AIDS, with possibility of antibody dependent enhancement from the FIRST time you encounter it, unlike all other forms of ADE we've seen that only happen in later infections:
"This study reveals a novel mechanism for ADE in which fully neutralizing antibodies mimic the function of viral receptor in mediating viral entry into Fc receptor-expressing cells."

We also know that it has the potential to hide in your neurons permanently like herpes:
"Since SARSโCoV2 may conceal itself in the neurons from the immune recognition, complete clearance of the virus may not be guaranteed even the patients have recovered from the acute infection."

It hides in your neurons like herpes, so it may be chronic. It uses your antibodies to invade cells that have igg fc receptors, which includes immune cells among others.
Thus, it has a real possibility of being a chronic disease that attacks your immune system. Basically, this could be AIDS. Airborne AIDS.
Also suspicious that healthy "recovered" people have low antibodies, there must be something going on with the immune system here:

Optimistically, I would like to think that whoever recovered did not get as big a viral load and their immune systems destroyed the virus. I suppose that's not the case in the hospitalized patients. At the same time, not having enough antibodies might indicate that the normal immune response was sufficient and the disease was still superficial, but exacerbated the effects of the underlying conditions - immunocompromised people may not produce as many antibodies anyway.
