No such thing as 'long COVID,' health agency says in shocking claim:
'Unnecessary fear'
 Follow the science -- right out the door.
 The term "long COVID" should be tossed aside like a stack of expired
N95 masks -- that's according to health experts in one country, who
found that symptoms of those reportedly suffering a year on weren't
any different than your typical virus, such as the flu.
 Government-backed medical researchers in Australia say it's time to
stop using the fear-inducing phrase, which became popular after high
volumes of people testing positive for COVID-19 led to a surge in
generally non-severe "virus fatigue symptoms" that would normally have
gone unnoticed, South West News Service reported.

Collective hypochondria? Normally I'd say that's a laughable concept but I have noticed a collective disorder with time concept, much of it trying to recollect did something occur before or after the pandemic. I think years down the road scientists will have a field day studying the psychological effects of the lengthy periods of isolation and life just stopping.
