I wonder if all these #radiocommercials I'm hearing for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) are related to #SARScov2. I seem to recall #pancreas damage being one of the particularly pesky features of #sequelae (viral persistence), in at least some people.

I remember thinking this was chilling for relying on repurposed HIV drugs for treatment, because they rely on the pancreas to break them down. Like, assuming Long COVID treatment in the US and global West starts getting more attention.

Is anyone else hearing these #EPI commercials too? Clearly I'm obsessed, but it's... suspicious. Tests for EPI were fairly uncommon in lab, relied on examining a piece of poo for diagnosis. The positives always looked really freakish.
