Why are you relying on "some folks" for medical information? Anecdotal bullshit is a large part of why COVID has been such a tedious shit show.

Stop relying on what you heard and just LOOK IT UP from a legit source. And stop repeating misinformation.

Look at the definition of long covid from a legit source of your chosing and come back and tell me I'm wrong. Even the article cites it at "a few months to a few years". By definition, if you feel a little woozy a few months after infection, you have long covid. Nothing I've said is misinformation.

The absolute shit show that was the brunt (thus far) of the covid pandemic has me wondering which of these "legit sources" deserve my trust. This is not to say that they are all malicious but when looking at all of the the expert opinion doled out during that time, there seems to be a really high occurrence of failure.
