I don't think that answers my question at all. It wasn't rhetorical I'm very familiar with COVID having had it it at least 4 times, and also long COVID - two instances about 6 months each There is no disagreement from me that post viral symptoms need more attention but I don't think it's necessary to downgrade the meaning of pandemic.
