This https://www.blog.brittanijamesmd.com/p/long-covid-changed-everything is an excellent overview of the current state of Long COVID knowledge.

Nothing surprising to anyone who's kept abreast of the science, but does an excellent job of summarizing

• the breadth and severity of impacts
• the medical system's inadequate response
  • especially because LC is hard to be "visualized, quantified, or objectively measured", severe symptoms returning "normal labs, unremarkable imaging"
  • muddy pathophysiology

and what might be the biggest hurdle to living with LC:

the absence of proof was often treated as evidence that the suffering itself might not be legitimate

(There's a few hints that the writing might have been LLM-assisted, but I noticed no factual errors. It might just be humans adopting LLM writing mannerisms, or it might have been "punched up" but properly reviewed by a human.)
