LongCovidLearning.org topic: Damaged immune system

SARS-CoV-2 directly infects and kills immune cells (lymphocytes), reducing the body's ability to fight Covid and increasing the severity of future infections — both future Covid variants and other diseases.

The infection of cells not only impairs the body's immune response, they may aggravate the infection by carrying the virus to other parts of the body through the bloodstream.
