Thanks @Tom Kindlon I read the content pages, looks to cover many areas and includes many MDs from different specialties. This makes me so hopeful. I don’t know what this book specifically recommends at this stage of research. I am nervous some claims to knowledge may be made at bit early. Nonetheless biological scientific investigation presents potential to be helpful in a way the framework we are used to does not. I am grateful that scientists and MDs taking the floor. Or placing their foot in the door, before BPS bunch slam it shut. I look forward to hearing all about this work from people who read it or excepts as and when available.

Given how little is known at present those are big claims. The trouble with books is they take quite a while to produce, and by the time they are published they are already out of date. It will be interesting to see how they handle it.
Our first long covid clinic was set up at the University of Debrecen. And the doctor responsible for infectiology/rheumatology there published a book in 2021, titled "What is Worth Knowing About the Covid Infection and the Post-Covid Conditions". In 2021!)
