Not sure about the quality of these findings - especially the uniqueness to covid19. My Dad contracted SARS (Swine Flu) 2 years ago and was knocked out for 2-3 weeks and needed at least 2 month until full recovery. Also, I contracted common colds 4-5 times over the last years every year due to my 3 year old going to the daycare. I got a chronic sinusitis out of that. Am I long-hauler now?

> Am I long-hauler now? no, because this article is about covid-19, not the rhinovirus. you are offering debate in bad faith.

  So if we were having a debate about net neutrality and we started talking about the telephone or cable company as an analogy, that would be bad faith? When people are so quick to yell “bad faith” or “whataboutism” it really highlights the fact that they don’t have a valid counter argument.

    Because the devil is in the details. Covid != Rhinovirus. If you asked why HIV is treated differently than crabs you'd get a similar response. Not only is the severity different, they are different diseases and so have different effects.

Did you read the article? They didn't say it was unique to Covid-19, and literally brought up long-term effects of SARS in some patients.

  Phrases like "Stump Experts" and "Puzzling Persistence" are chosen to imply that this is something unprecedented and scary. This piece is mostly about the heart effects of COVID-19, but it hammers home the same point - that none of these effects are particularly unusual or surprising, they're just occurring at a massively larger scale, with massively more news coverage, than before: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/covid-19-heart-pandemic-coronavirus-myocarditis/616420/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/covid-19-...
