I think it's less "this is bullshit" and more "this is receiving far more attention than long influenza or long any other infection". We've fixated on long COVI

I think it's less "this is bullshit" and more "this is receiving far more attention than long influenza or long any other infection". We've fixated on long COVID to a degree that might not be productive and which - if it has a psychosomatic component in some cases - might be causing more long COVID.

- spondylosaurus 3y ago> "this is receiving far more attention than long influenza or long any other infection" Yeah, because a loooot of people have caught COVID in the past three years, lol. There was a whole pandemic about it.
- strken 3y agoThere are about a billion influenza cases every year. This is exactly the attention I'm referring to, where you know a lot about the 750 million COVID cases since 2020 but nothing about the more numerous influenza ones.
