creasingly aware that "long Covid" is largely a myth (for anyone who didn't become seriously ill, I mean), that the profile of people complaining about it fits almost perfectly with those who have IBS/fibro/restless leg/chronic Lyme...

I have a friend with long haul who would put an ax through his forehead for suggesting that. He might reconsider his opinion just before the ax cleaved his skull.

That guy is sorely uninformed. He should stop posting before he embarrasses himself further.
