11. These three factors: lack of triggering the human disgust mechanism, inability to be generalised, and lack of widespread understanding of sequelae of infection all contribute to the societal denial of the dangers of Covid-19.

Thank you, and thanks for reminding me to come over here instead…!

So are you 🤗

This attitude of apathy and a lack of willingness to learn is only furthering the growing disability in our society.

If anything it’s the opposite: covid causes widespread pathology, that can occur at any time following an infection - and needs to be investigated, diagnosed and treated (to the full extent possible within our current knowledge).

Making a diagnosis of LC is not a cue for clinicians to take off the diagnostic hat and merely express sympathy to the patient experience, however in clinical practice this is too often what happens.

Too often patients hear “we just don’t know enough about it yet” - a statement all of us who’ve stayed up to date with the literature know is incorrect.

We may not have all the answers, but we know an awful lot.

And we have done, for years.

This persistent labelling of what’s seen as an elusive disease with no treatment is deeply obstructive to both patient care as well as clinical learning around all effects of covid infections, regardless of if they fall under the LC umbrella or not (depending on the definition being used)
