> people are really hostile about the idea of long hauling Definitely, and true of any poorly understood illness. A common response when people hear about suffering without a simple explanation is fear and rejection. It reminds them of their mortality, it breaks their just-world hypothesis, and it forces them to be burdened with the knowledge that people suffer and we don't know why because the world is vastly more complex than we understand. Many people would rather reject people's suffering than live with these feelings.
