1. Please stop digging. TC was right. Even being blunt, I am sure you can find another expression to avoid confusion with the jargon, no matter whether the person pointing out the jargon meaning did it in an irritating way. How about "after covid"? You don't strike me as the sort of person who would usually throw lumps of Latin into your writing.
No - there is misinformation... There are plenty of people who think that vaccines and autism are linked. Any suggestion there is pure misinformation.
I would agree. Additionally an aspect of "amplification" - more people spreading misinformation even as "their opinion" the more prominent it becomes. More prominent means more people will get to see the misinformation and more see it often. And repeated misinformation/amplification gives the impression that the misinformation is a widely held view which makes some more ready to believe it.[XAP]Bob wrote: ↑26 Nov 2021, 2:01pmNo - there is misinformation...

Similarly there are a lot of lines of misinformation about covid, and they are actively dangerous.

2. Please stop trying to shut down disagreement with your posts. That's a bit chilling from someone with a moderator label. It's fine if you don't reply but don't pretend you're not reading.
Actually the test kits only test for virus in you nose and upper throat. You can have virus elsewhere in your body. No virus in nose & throat does NOT mean you don't have virus elsewhere - so it is quite possible you still had the same Covid infection but there was no longer virus in your nose and/or throat. Even under your unique definition of what is actually the term for a condition, nothing to do with post-Covid just highlighting that the test only tests 2 regions of the body.Mick F wrote: ↑26 Nov 2021, 3:22pm ....After testing negative, I became ill.
Not well at all.
Still negative but could hardly get up out of bed or out of the arm-chair.
I was suffering for a few days - a week? .............. and here we get to the nub of the issue ..............
I was ill post Covid, after Covid, because of having Covid, later after being negative ............. the expressions can get longer and longer and longer.
Post means afterwards, like pre means before. It's English, as much of it is Latin, German, French etc etc.
Happy to continue this argument ad infinitum if you want.

The tests do not show that the infection has gone, they only indicate that it has likely gone (PCR) or maybe gone (LFT) from your nose and/or throat area.For some people, coronavirus (COVID-19) can cause symptoms that last weeks or months after the infection has gone.

The NICE guideline scope ... defines post-COVID syndrome as signs and symptoms that develop during or following an infection consistent with COVID-19 which continue for more than 12 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis.
About long COVID
How long it takes to recover from COVID-19 is different for everybody.
Many people feel better in a few days or weeks and most will make a full recovery within 12 weeks. But for some people, symptoms can last longer.
First amusing part was about arguing like in a pub. One of the arguments for not banning political threads iirc revolve around them being a robust debate like mates have in the pub.They argue in exactly the same superficial way they would with someone over a pint in the pub, i.e. not actually arguing but just dismissing what other people say and simply stating and re-stating their own opinions, which are all they are really interested in.
I would still say that that is information and they are entitled,rightly or wrongly,to think that.
