Five years ago
we did not want to believe
those who were warning us
about how quickly
things would get worse,
which is a lesson
that we would do well
to remember
as we sit here
five years later
trying to ignore
those who are warning us
of how quickly
things are getting worse.

About 5 years ago (see image below, saved this tweet before I deleted my account) I asked whether COVID would cause more ME/CFS cases and whether anyone was going to study this issue. And I was not the only person asking this!

We now have a study showing that this is indeed what happens 😢

Among participants infected with SARS-CoV-2 the incidence of ME/CFS is 15 times higher than pre-pandemic rates.
