It is rather scary that Omicron is said to give mild cases, causing some I know to not really worry about it.

It is sad that with so little known about Long Covid, the General Practitioners mentioned in the article are telling their patients that it's just anxiety and 'to go home and sort themselves out.'

When the symptoms don't fit a known diagnosis, the default probably should not be 'it is all in your head'.

What exactly do you think worrying about it will accomplish? It seems that "Long Covid" is mostly associated with patients' belief that they had the disease rather than actual infections. Many cases are psychosomatic.
