Great piece, as always. I have many questions, a couple of them below.
First, Long COVID has been used to refer both to persistent COVID symptoms and to new-onset symptoms appearing some time after infection. Is there a danger of these sorts of estimates missing cases of the latter type in large numbers?
Relatedly, there was a Nature study that made rounds a while back seeming to show an increased risk of POTS in the period following both SARS-CoV-2 infection and (to a lesser degree) vaccination: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44161-022-00177-8. I was wondering what you make of it. Obviously, a single study can't establish anything definitive; but how convincing do you find the authors' conclusions?
