To put it bluntly: it’s not very informative to describe people as COVID “long-haulers” if, sixty days after being diagnosed with an illness that is sweeping the world in a devastating pandemic, they report anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, headache etc., without a comparison group!

My anecdotes are my Bayesian truth, and they include neighbors and coworkers with longterm anosmia that I've never had friends experience before COVID. The article you mentioned didn't even address this rather well known symptom... why not? It would seem to be rather measurable and comparable vs earlier baselines.
