Acknowledgements
I want to thank the Long Covid and disability community for constant engagement and thought-provoking debate, especially on Twitter. Barbara Melville-Jóhannesson (Creative Informatics, University of Edinburgh) has been an important source of encouragement as regards an early draft of this piece. I addressed various points raised in this paper at conferences such as the European Sepsis Alliance Annual Meeting and the World Sepsis Congress in 2021.
