Seems like it generally just gets triggered by a viral infection, but obviously it's hard to find conclusive evidence for that as people get viral infections all the time and usually recover fine. In a way COVID was a useful 'experiment' where we got a lot of cases of people getting long COVID right after a confirmed infection (because everyone was getting tested, which you typically wouldn't do for your average viral infection).

triggered or caused by?

fascinating, thank you.

that makes sense, we must have so much new data on how viruses affects humanity as a whole because of the global testing going on so long for so many people.

Probably triggered. But we don’t really know.

what an exciting development we still have to look forward to.

Hopefully it’s something immunomodulators can fix. Fingers crossed.
