It is kind of weird that everyone who seems to get long covid are the people you suspect might get it. Not met anyone with it IRL and been surprised by the revelation.
Edit: Just to be clear, long covid is definitely real as a phenomenon; there is scientific consensus on that. Was just wondering what predisposes people towards getting it.
My neighbour has it. She was a live wire teacher in her early 39s, fit healthy, joined us on on Parkrun every week. Still suffering, working half days.
It is a real phenomena, but a random assortment of afflictments post COVID with no real test to prove that someone does or doesn’t have it is pretty unhelpful.
I’ll remain sceptical of long COVID until we have hard science that can explain the causes and effects.
I didn’t say it’s not real. I was just implying that “everything bad is long COVID” is hysteria and that we shouldn’t over react until we have the science that explains the phenomenon.
I think there are so many possible factors and that “it’s long COVID” is not just hysteria but entirely unhelpful.

I somewhat agree.

You don’t get it, that’s OK. But it’s very real and debilitating, so just try to empathise.
