Long Covid has had a brutal effect on the workforce, study finds
I don&#x27;t really get how people can be so quick to dismiss long covid as made up. Is it too much to just admit that you don&#x27;t have enough evidence to decide whether it&#x27;s real instead of trying to write claimants off as grifters or mentally ill?<p>Further, it&#x27;s odd that some people aren&#x27;t willing to even entertain the possibility that it could be real, given that a number of examples of post-viral syndromes have been observed in other viruses. E.g. post-Ebola virus syndrome [1] and Epstein-Barr&#x27;s role in the development of multiple sclerosis [2]. At the very least, this warrants taking claims of long COVID seriously, does it not?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Post-Ebola_virus_syndrome" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Post-Ebola_virus_syndrome</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;med.stanford.edu&#x2F;news&#x2F;all-news&#x2F;2022&#x2F;01&#x2F;epstein-barr-virus-multiple-sclerosis.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;med.stanford.edu&#x2F;news&#x2F;all-news&#x2F;2022&#x2F;01&#x2F;epstein-barr-...</a>
