| Sigh, That's not a study that's an article reviewing other cherry picked articles.
It doesn't really mean all that much tbh.
You would have to review what this review is reviewing. Long covid is still not properly defined and is more of a blanket term of feeling like shit after virus infection List includes https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/covid-19/long-term-effects-of-... * extreme tiredness (fatigue)
* feeling short of breath
* loss of smell
* muscle aches OR. * problems with your memory and concentration ("brain fog")
* chest pain or tightness
* difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
* heart palpitations
* dizziness
* pins and needles
* joint pain
* depression and anxiety
* tinnitus, earaches
* feeling sick, diarrhoea, stomach aches, loss of appetite
* a high temperature, cough, headaches, sore throat, changes to sense of smell or taste
* rashes Many of these symptoms are simply post viral fatigue

Post-viral syndrome may cause additional symptoms, such as: * confusion
* trouble concentrating
* headaches
* aches and pains in the muscles
* stiff joints
* a sore throat
* swollen lymph nodes
Which was considered perfectly normal before the big C. Maybe long covid is a thing, but it really needs proper definition then. How sick I am of the Covid nutters. If you want research money for something it seems to be just enough to slap some covid label or other and a cheque will be written no questions asked. Also nature is falling from grace as a top notch elite non-partisan publisher as they have definitely turned partisan in the last few years, they still had the courage to publish the devastating outcome of their political agenda though https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01537-5. |
I myself take 6 months to have my brain work like before after contact with someone with COVID.
Wym "maybe long covid is a thing"? Didn't the deaths show the response to COVID is extremely varied already? I'm happy you didn't have it but I bet you know someone that does.
I agree Nature is admittedly dodgy to the left if the issue is political (climate change models, the infamous proximal Origins) but I honestly don't see long COVID being one.
