Anything that persists long term after an infection is long COVID. It's the same concept for other viral infections.

Sure, but what is that? Neural damage? Inflammation? Lingering viral load? Weakened immune system? Immune system over excitability?

We don't know. That's the only good answer.

Neurological damage seems to be a strong contender for the bulk of long COVID symptoms though.

My friend has neural symptoms and gastrological symptoms, also they're very tired, much more than before Covid.
