[quote=Anonymous]As another poster alluded to, the studies into long covid have really done a disservice to the small set of people that are actually suffering from serious, long-term issues. There's been such pressure to define "long covid" broadly to be able to claim it's a huge problem. But that means these studies end up being overwhelmed with participants with mild, lingering symptoms that end up resolving on their own in weeks, just like we see with other respiratory infections. It's been pretty clear for a while that there's a strong psychosomatic component to long covid. By having test subjects self-identify to enroll, this study leans heavily into that. It's no surprise that people with anxiety are heavily overrepresented. Hopefully we'll see some more responsible long covid studies following up to this one. [/quote]
