The biggest problem I have with the press on long covid is that long Covid is really not very well defined. Long covid seems to be defined as any COVID infection where any symptom symptom last longer than 2 weeks. That mean if you have a lingering cough for a few weeks after you have COVID then you had ”long covid" even though that doesn't negatively impact your day-to-day life. Certainly there are some instances of long covid that are very traumatic but those seem to be very very rare
