Yeah the paper is just lying. “Long Covid” is just a typical response to a severe flu. Many people are just ignorant of the fact that flus can weaken the immune system past the initial infection. It’s well meaning attempt to understand common flu symptoms but they are just relating to COVID to get more clicks and funding.

Did you actually look at any part of the paper? Their approach is not some hand-wavy qualitative measure. They are measuring an actual phenomenon in people with known COVID infections. If you have a methodological problem with the paper, try using facts next time.

No didn’t read the paper. Yes it’s it’s extremely hand wavy of measurement. You can’t develop a methodology to determine if you have a chronic disease in less time then a a disease can be discovered are determined to be chronic. Duh.
