Long COVID Experts and Advocates Say the Government Is Ignoring 'the Greatest Mass-Disabling Event in Human History'
Many of the symptoms are identical to "chronic fatigue syndrome: which was a "wastebasket" term used to identify a constellation of signs and symptoms present in patients with 'Long Covid'.
Long Covid is still a constellation of signs and symptoms that scientists are studying. There is strong evidence that it is linked to the immune system and there may be a genetic link for those who develop 'Long Covid"
Some think it is related to the activation of the Epstein-Barr virus, once thought to result in "chronic fatigue syndrome". Both Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid are enigmatic. However modern science is showing that Long Covid is a real entity proven by tests that were not available at the time of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Covid19 has been around for only 3 years, a very short time, and over the next decade we will see what else develops. The immune system has a long memory.
