- This is the danger of the 'just another respiratory virus' narrative; by not knowing if you've had Covid, you absolutely will not connect any subsequent new-onset chronic health issues you experience to the 'cold' or 'flu' you had previously. And neither will a doctor.
- This is precisely how Long Covid hides in plain sight. Societally camouflaged by the imperative not to test. This is precisely why so many people have Long Covid but so few realise they do.

Just one more reason why I prefer to talk about ME/CFS (when the criteria are met) instead of Long Covid.
I got sick during the first wave, before tests so I never officially got the LC label.
And it was predictable that more and more people won't get tested.

I agree and it also means many are unaware of the risk they pose to others or themselves by failing to rest when infected.

Absolutely agree. I cannot understand why people do not recognise the necessity of testing.
