Different etiologies can have the same symptoms and it is silly to suggest there is no difference between diseases. They’ve found tests which can distinguish long Covid.
Covid doesn’t reactivate the Epstein-Barr virus. What it does is it weaken the immune system further by depleting ATP and GTP. That weakening of the immune system stops our immune system from suppressing EBV.
Because exercise alone can weaken the immune system enough to Reactivate viruses.
Thankfully exercise can also help strengthen the immune system. (source: I've been exercising a lot lately after years of feeling like I had chronic fatigue - more accurately it seems to have been sleep apnea - and have had 3 diagnosed cases of mono in my life)
EBV is liked to many other diseases. To quote wikipedia:
"EBV has also been implicated in several other diseases, including Burkitt's lymphoma,[58] hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis,[59] Hodgkin's lymphoma,[60] stomach cancer,[12][61] nasopharyngeal carcinoma,[62] multiple sclerosis,[15][16][63][17] and lymphomatoid granulomatosis.[64]"
Burkitt's lymphoma is an oddball cancer in which growth is so fast treatment should begin almost immediately.
