Interesting read. I didn't know long COVID was so pervasive.

It's frustrating to think about how things could be better if we had a competent government.

    Scientists can't work tirelessly without grant funding. They can't work at all. These feel good articles are misleading and ignoring that $0 will be spent on COVID, or any virus research since 2025 and the defunding of the NIH.

    I wonder what the overlap between long covid patients and metabolic impairment is?

    its called sequalae, for the terminology, many viruses can cost post viral symptoms. like a systemic rash that cant be explain or even trigger autoimmune or heart issues. covid is such a new virus to the human population it would cause more systemic symptoms than another common virus.
