I asked a friend whether someone with COVID should inform everyone they share air with of their positive status. His answer: no. I asked him if an untreated HIV positive person should inform everyone with whom they are intimate. He said yes. And there's the disconnect.

Western medicine has trained doctors AND patients to only treat symptoms, not root causes. This is not the way. Example: Headaches might feel the same but one could be a migraine and one a tumor. It's important to distinguish for proper treatment.

This is what happens when you define diseases solely by symptoms and conditions. They suddenly all look the same and are "not new". But, under the hood, the biomarkers are different & persistent pathogens live in different cells and have different effects.

This is why we need to keep Long Covid as a single-focus health issue. Symptoms for MECFS might be able to be treated the same between diseases, but they'll NEVER address the root problem. The best improvement is a CURE, or at least improving the root cause.
