Will Covid19 shine a light on ME?

Fantastic article in The Washington Post.

Most chilling paragraph is the final one....

"Given the historical neglect of ME - very few medical students even learn about it - many physicians and researchers who follow Covid-19 patients may think they are discovering a new phenomenon in the patients who are slow to recover. Instead, they'll be rediscovering a common illness that's been known, and neglected and afflicting many people - for decades."
