    News from Scandinavia

    In order to understand postinfectious syndromes and help individuals, more research is needed that takes a holistic approach to psychological, sociological, anthropological and biological perspectives [13]. Now that is an arbitrary assumption. I broke my hand once. All I needed was a simple...

    Series of Guardian articles on Long Covid, October 2022
