      A previous infection. Depending on your type of Long COVID you get Post Exertional Malaise after doing stuff. That’s one of the easiest to recognise. Proper biomarkers are being studied but it seems to take a long time to reach the medical profession.

      Until then most doctors will mistake ME/CFS (the most common Long COVID type) symptoms for depression and prescribe anti depressants, psycho therapy and above all exercise and make everything a lot worse until the patient can’t leave their bed anymore. Source: me

      Edit: Reading the article my prediction is that most patients will come out of this study worse. Overexertion makes the symptoms worse. That’s what their training probably leads to. Hopefully I’m wrong.
