How do we answer the following statement from Dr John Gerrard, Queensland’s Chief Health Officer, who said it was “time to stop using terms like ‘long Covid’” because they imply there is something unique about the longer-term symptoms associated with the virus, and in some cases create hypervigilance. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/15/long-covid-symptoms-flu-cold?t
I appreciate Dr. Fauci's comment "So Long COVID really needs one of those long-range funding mechanisms like we had in the intramural program NIAID where we were able to work on things for years. If it was clear, you were doing good work, you were not pressured or feared that you were going to lose your job if you did not produce a result. So, this is a long, long-range project that should get long, long-range funding."
