Earliest discussion of Long COVID and ME/CFS following the corona-pandemic

[ME/CFS Skeptic]

I'm looking for the early discussion on the S4ME forum but also elsewhere in the ME/CFS patient community of the idea that the corona-pandemic might lead to an increase in ME/CFS incidence.

I found this thread which started discussing this at the end of February 2020 but I suspect there will be earlier suggestions of the idea.
News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021 | Science for ME (s4me.info)

Would also be interested in seeing when the term Long COVId started to be used and when experts (researchers and clinicians) started discussing the idea in the media.

Many thanks in advance

The first suggestion of it that I spotted on this thread, Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control, from Jan 26th 2020.

That's pretty much what the residents and businesses of Incline Village and the CDC said during the outbreak. And I would argue some of these patients will go into ME/CFS.
