When my wife first had ongoing symptoms after covid (before it had a snappy name), it was interesting how many people wanted to think that somehow she was making it up - and that being trapped in bed/on the sofa while I was out having fun with the kids was some sort of 'affectation'. As people understood what long covid was and does, people generally came around to the idea, but still (mainly online) people have this opinion that 'people must be making it up' - despite SARs being known to cause similar long term issues for some of those infected, and some people having long term impacts from Spanish Flu 100 years ago.
