In 2021 there was almost no evidence of persistent long-term symptoms because very, very few people had COVID far enough in the past (and survived) to have these symptoms start to show up. It's completely reasonable for a front-line GP physician to not go down a rabbit hole like that because their lay patient has a hunch.

- randm_sequence 3y agoI've come to the same conclusion about long COVID in April May of 2020. The evidence is shockingly overwhelming and has been grossly ignored. Some of us have found cocktails that work. Would love to discuss if you are interested.
