Long Covid doesn't exist, volume one zillion

> (Welcome to the plague so severe most halfway healthy adults don’t even know they’ve had it.)

Saying this after Covid has killed more people than Malaria or HIV (per annum) despite unprecedented lockdowns and disruptions casts some doubt on the accuracy of the rest of the reporting.

I know first hand of many family members with long-COVID. So yeah this substack guy knows everything and certainly more than medical professionals.

I don't know why people should take offense to the suggestion long covid occurs less frequently than is imagined. It is not saying people are not having symptons. The placebo (nocebo) effect of suggestion can be very real, especially when dealing with vague symptons like fatigue.

And even the flu has a small percentages of cases that linger for months, so covid may be in line with other viruses.

How many people with "long covid" now had "chronic fatigue syndrome" in 2018?

When doctors don't find an easy reasons to say why you're sick; and worse yet, when they can't see visible evidence that you are sick; they're likely to just bin you into whichever the "we dunno" category is that day.

I have long COVID. I haven’t been tested for it since there are no tests but I have been feeling pretty bad for weeks now. If it’s not long COVID I don’t know what else it might be.
