Now that people are realizing that Long COVID is real, I see a disturbing trend that seeks to minimize just how common it is and restrict the definition of long COVID to the most severe cases. Nobody has to be "bedridden" or "housebound" to be experiencing the effects of long COVID or be disabled by it. I literally am not as able as I used to be, that's me being disabled by long COVID.
@galletasalada Agree - with sympathy and solidarity.
I do think the different subtypes badly need to be clarified, because that's going to be crucial for developing treatments. But that's not in any way an excuse for people to divide us into 'severe' and 'trivial'.
