This tweet is just to give you a chance to go back and look at Jennifer's tweet without accidentally seeing what I think it is...

"diagnose"

Why's that important?
Because these people *arriving at ER* don't know they have POTS.

And it's POTS that's bringing them in to ER.

If she's "diagnosing", it means that the people have been struggling along with it and it has come to a crisis moment, and they've had to go to emergency.

And they didn't know they had it.

And that it's new onset.

If they've had it for four years, then it has got worse.

If they haven't had it for four years, it's being caused now.

So POTS, one of the most common expressions of Long Covid, is being increasingly diagnosed NOW.

It's causing need for emergency care NOW.

Do you get it?

Covid is doing this NOW.
