Abstract
Post-COVID-19 condition (also known as long COVID) represents a crucial and emerging global public health challenge. Intriguingly, growing claims exist about the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 or viral antigens in the blood and tissues of patients with long COVID for months after the acute infection. This occurrence is not exclusive to SARS-CoV-2 as long-term shedding of influenza A virus in the stool of immunocompromised patients has been reported previously.1 Furthermore, this finding corresponds with that of a previous report that at 2 months following acute COVID-19, viral RNA was detected in various solid tissues and peripheral blood of immunocompromised individuals with post-COVID-19 symptoms, as opposed to that in immunocompetent individuals.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
