There's a new virus going around in the UK called nastiflu.
Unlike other flus, you can't detect it using flu tests, so it's not being picked up by hospital tracking.
But it does show up on covid tests, which is weird, because one of its nicknames is notcovid.
#LongCovid patients have:
1. Functional impairment worse than stroke; comparable to Parkinson's
2. Worse quality of life than metastatic cancers
3. Worse fatigue than stroke, bowel disease, & end stage renal disease
We need clinical trials urgently!

This article does a nice job of explaining why evidence-based medicine is not the gold standard for public health research.
Evidence-based medicine was established to reduce reliance on doctor’s “gut-feelings”.
If we want science, we need epidemiology.
