I don't think its curiosity - I think they are motivated to ignore sympthom treatment or causal investigation. I see our government, the insurance industry and finally pharmaceutical as the culprits fighting to keep "Long Covid" as a closet secret. After all, who stands to lose if we recognize Long Covid as real and spend the time and money to treat - care for it? What if Long Covid does more and quicker damage to the lungs than asbestos & Smoking? What if the Spike Proteins interfere with the immune system and inflames old injuries or if Long Covid potentially affects the heart and nervous system and causes clots and strokes? All of the above are potential outcomes with significant science back-up - yet you think the doctors lack curiosity - No I think the only reason they play dumb, is potential liability. I see a lot of lawyers prescribing no care for long haullers.

I hate to think this way, but I’m afraid I agree. I am one month out from my first case of COVID and still recovering and hope I don’t have any long COVID symptoms that persist. But I share your fears because I had a severe case of Lyme Disease which went undiagnosed and untreated (because doctors didn’t take me seriously) and ultimately caused damage to my heart and I had to get a pacemaker. Chronic Lyme is also ignored because the medical community expects you to heal with the tools they have and they don’t know what to do with you if that doesn’t happen. It’s difficult for them to admit they don’t have the answers if a drug or a surgery won’t fix it. And where does that leave people with unresolved medical issues like long COVID or chronic Lyme? In limbo.
