If your arguing about the name we'll leave it there.

If your arguing about the name we'll leave it there.

Why? It's been made into it's own entity now, that's the whole issue.

And people are latching onto this and it's been given such coverage and credence.

Could some people take quite some time to fully recover from Covid? Of course, like any ailment sometimes people will take longer to get over it fully.

People are t latching onto because of a name. It's getting coverage because it's affecting so many people. And some very serious symptoms. This seems to annoy you.

Effecting so many people? Why? Because they feel tired?

So many other common symptoms.

And some not so common. A real mixed bag.

[Lomg Covid has] been made into it's own entity now, that's the whole issue.

And people are latching onto this and it's been given such coverage and credence.

All the emerging evidence of this new disease suggests that Long Covid is an idiopathic disease i.e. one which scientists don't fully understand eg where it comes from, why certain people get it, or how to treat it.

Such diseases are as old as science, and still exist. One example is Ankylosing spondylitis. This is an arthritic disease which affects peoples spines, causing back pain which can come and go, sometimes spreading beyond the spine. Sometimes it is severe, such that sufferers become crippled. It is physically visible, yet scientists still have no real understanding what causes it, or why it affects some people but not others.

Yet by your reasoning [sic], it shouldn't really exist, just like Long Covid.

Scarring of lungs in very young people. Yes common that is alright...

When were young people checked for scarring of lungs previously?

Your running out of room mate. Your argument was weak to begin with and has got worse. Sometimes it ok to quietly back out of a thread than to keep trying to flog a dead horse.

Why would an asymptomatic person be tested for lung scarring?

Its usually a disease of someone who is exposed to very large doses of particulates such as asbestos or crystalline silica.

Everyone probably has a wee bit of scarring in their lungs. It is pretty far advanced by the time you get shortness of breath and your lungs can't take in enough oxygen, which presumably is the case with these long COVID patients.

When were young people checked for scarring of lungs previously?

Presumably when they exhibited symptoms which necessitated scanning
