Are there any clear tests or treatments for long covid yet?
Quote Tweet
It's been a week since this White House protest for ME/CFS and Long Covid. I've been following up with a subset of them. Not one is back to "baseline"—an already limited amount of activity they could undertake. "Post-exertional malaise" (PEM) is so baffling and counterintutive. twitter.com/zeynep/status/…

Apparently the rate for omicron is 4.5% and delta was 10%. The virus evolved away from long covid. Wonder what the logic is? Up and ready for reinfection faster?

Nothing much: there are correlated biomarkers, and some ideas for treatment (mostly about managing symptoms) - frequently drawing from CE/MFS world. There are also some "unproven" protocols (s.a. intermittent fasting + limit certain foods).
