Does COVID mess with your DNA?

[harm_less]

One of the silver linings of the COVID 19 event is that studies into long COVID very much parallel those relating to chronic fatigue syndrome, and it comes as no surprise that the process of DNA methylation is common to both. https://clinicalepigeneticsjournal.biome...20-00960-z

Weird thing is ive got a friend who suffers real bad with CFS and he was really worried what COVID would do to him, luckily he was no worse off after eventually getting COVID but ive heard from others that did not fare so well.

COVID seems to have the ability to reboot latent viruses including shingles and EBV. As CFS is often associated with EBV maybe if that virus was already active then COVID's effect on its effects would be negligable.
