On the podcast, Ed Yong shared: ME/CFS " is a condition that has existed long before COVID. It is a debilitating, long-term chronic illness that has often been overlooked....People who have it might be bedbound. They might be housebound. They might be unable to perform very simple and normal activities of daily life.... (contd.)"

There are risks to the individual (the risk of death, but also the risk of long term health issues and even the risk of not being able to earn money or carry out other activities when ill). There also risks to people they are in contact with.

Her message is that journalists are treating the pandemic as if Covid infections don’t matter any more and it’s time to move on. This, she says, shames people who remain cautious about Covid and it does not communicate the risks which still exist.

Reduced athletic performance post-COVID-19 is associated with reduced anaerobic threshold

Free fulltext:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

“Reduced AT [anaerobic threshold] suggests a peripheral disorder of aerobic metabolism. This finding may result from virally mediated mitochondrial dysfunction beyond normal ‘deconditioning’, associated with impaired fat oxidation.”

"Scientists from the School of Psychology and Faculty of Medicine & Health found that of the study cohort of 128 people, those who had a prolonged activation of the kynurenine pathway were more likely to have mild cognitive deficits 12 months after developing COVID-19. They also found that these symptoms were less likely to improve over time."
