But mounting evidence suggests that independent of that syndrome, the coronavirus also befuddles the immune system into targeting the body, causing autoimmune disorders in some people.”

It's not real until the media creates a name for it, and Long Covid is already taken.
Really, Really Long COVID?
Chronic COVID Syndrome?
Post-COVID Syndrome?
Help me out here, we gotta coin this before it gets minimalized into something like, "Imaginary Sustained COVID Syndrome".
@luckytran So the same as most viruses are capable of? Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome and ME/CFS have been known for decades!
Covid/Long Covid has been the scourge of our civilization since it arrived. It's killed millions and sickened X-millions more, ravaged the economy, and could be said to be present in the disruption of logistics in how the economy flows.
Sick people can't work as well, produce poorer products, get in more accidents, are unable to make decisions or follow requirements, and so on.
It is now permanent because we couldn't be bothered to sacrifice our money and fun temporarily at the beginning, when it could have been stopped in its tracks.
