This monthly thread is for scientific discussion pertaining to COVID-19. Please post questions about the science of this virus and disease here to collect them for others and clear up post space for research articles.

A short reminder about our rules: Speculation about medical treatments and questions about medical or travel advice will have to be removed and referred to official guidance as we do not and cannot guarantee that all information in this thread is correct.

We ask for top level answers in this thread to be appropriately sourced using primarily peer-reviewed articles and government agency releases, both to be able to verify the postulated information, and to facilitate further reading.

Please only respond to questions that you are comfortable in answering without having to involve guessing or speculation. Answers that strongly misinterpret the quoted articles might be removed and repeated offenses might result in muting a user.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, please send us a modmail[1], we highly appreciate it.

Keep in mind this is a *science* sub. Cite your sources appropriately (No news sources, no Twitter, no Youtube). No politics/economics/low effort comments (jokes, ELI5, etc.)/anecdotal discussion (personal stories/info). Please read our full ruleset[1] carefully before commenting/posting.

I interpreted this as evidence that Covid can cause AIDS. I know covid can cause lymphocytopenia. Please help me understand this, and how often this might occur.

My other question is, are there any studies that will help quantify how often people see adverse health effects from a covid infection? Any adverse effects, I'm trying to understand the full picture of risk.
