Scientists discover 'long colds' may exist, as well as long COVID

A new study from Queen Mary University of London, published in eClinicalMedicine, has found that people may experience long-term symptoms—or "long colds"—after acute respiratory infections that test negative for COVID-19.

  8. Just because they changed the name to suit their panicdemic didn't make post-viral syndrome any less real.

  9. Crazy how the media never highlights the studies showing that "long covid" doesn't exist at all.

  10. This was known by doctors over here at least in 1998, probably earlier. That's when I was told that my "severe cold with bronchitis symptoms" was caused by an adenovirus and that residual symptoms would likely persist "for an year or two."

    That turned out to be generally correct.

    So, clearly the existence of such a thing was already known at the time.

  11. Man made illnesses have been our bane for decades. Only gonna get worse, unless a planned war gets rid of the culprits.
