I am not at all confused. I am well aware of the contents of the article, and that the article never mentions specifically the combination of characters known as 'Long Covid'. I responded specifically to your unreferenced statement of a supposed fact (that there is a claim) 'half of the people that get infected get Long Covid'. Your claim that this is either the case or being claimed to be the case is entirely baseless. > people say ‘I know this one guy and he got covid and it was terrible for a long time’. So that’s the image that’s conjured up for Long Covid. I have never once heard that, and my reaction to that scenario, is that the guy had covid. Long covid did not enter my thoughts, the image you have conjured here is of someone fighting an active infection. It sounds like they were in hospital for a long time. Hopefully that friend is better now. > Long Covid is just any complaint people have after contracting covid, from lung damage to occasional slight headaches, you know, the things that are in the list of side effects for every type of medicine on the planet You know how if you get shot, you often bleed. Well its not like that is unique to being shot, if you cut yourself you will also bleed. > Now because there is no scientifically useful definition of Long Covid The Long term Effects of infection with COVID. > Whether there are effects or not and what they are is science. > But it’s not science. For a while I thought we had come to an agreement on what science was.
