Their entire playlist "Long COVID Video Series - English" stands out as a succinct explanation of the aspects of long Covid that the general public has the most trouble grasping. Almost all of it is directly applicable to ME as well.

 

No mention of ME or ME/CFS anywhere, at least, none that I found (please correct me if I missed one).

I get why they didn't mention it in the first couple of introductory videos.

But why is ME not even mentioned in that third video? (the one called "What are Common Long COVID Symptoms")

I didn't watch but I read the transcript. You could substitute ME for Long Covid and everything still applies, word for word. The only item that did not fit for me was the comment about changes to smell or taste.

When there are studies showing that roughly 1/2 of Long Covid patients meet the ME diagnostic criteria this seems like a pretty bad omission.

 

I think they should at least mention ME when they're using the term PEM or post exertional exacerbation in their videos.

 

I highly appreciate that they mentioned intimacy as an area of life affect by LC. (Link to video at 1:03) The effect of my illness on that part of my life has been the most emotionally impactful loss for me.
