What I was asking in the previous session was whether there are symptoms unique to long Covid. The impression I am getting is the symptoms, especially the most acute ones, were triggered by the original Covid infection. They do not seem to be unique in any way to warrant them being described as a separate entity as long Covid. Some of them may have worsened, etc. The people sitting in the Gallery who gave testimony earlier may not consider trying to define it helpful, but that is the impression from the evidence I am getting. Dr. Kent was nodding there, so I might go to him.
