Long Covid isn't real. It's just another mass hysteria. The symptoms are vague and are basically what a school child would make up if trying to get out of school for the day. "Brain fog" being the funniest one. This is made all the more obvious by the fact women are affected more than men, as women are affected more by mass hysterias (see: transgenderism).

Correct. Harvard study：https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/09/depression-an...

Overlap with fibromyalgia, which is also untestable and mainly in depressed middle age white women: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34426540/

Sounds like you have all the answers. I suggest you contact the CDC to get their website updated. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/...

Your own link shows it’s not correct. The researchers identify it as a real problem, and while they linked existing distress with an increased chance of developing long COVID that doesn’t mean nobody else can develop it – that’s up to 40% over the baseline of people who lack those factors, not 0.

In terms of direct participation or support? I believe the former leans heavily towards males (assigned at birth etc), so I assume you mean the latter. Wonder if you’ve seen numbers somewhere or just personal experience? Curious as I haven’t seen any numbers in either direction, and I would not have assumed a big difference there.

Have you tried antidepressants? They can help with long Covid apparently.
