This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

MODERATORS
The visibility of long-COVID has led people to reevaluate whether other viruses cause "long" syndromes. It looks like rhinovirus (aka "the common cold") can, too.
There are other viruses that were already known to cause "long" symptoms, often due to damage caused to the nervous system by the virus or the immune response. Post-polio syndrome has been known for a long time, for example.
Thansl for clarifying. This is very interesting.
That's a very succinct explanation!
