depending on which COVID-19 variant a person is infected with, infectious disease experts say they are not completely convinced this is the case.
When the Alpha variant was the dominant strain, there were more instances of muscle aches and pains, insomnia, brain fog, and anxiety and depression among long COVID patients. Meanwhile, symptoms such as the loss of smell, difficulty swallowing and impaired hearing were less common.However, infectious disease experts question the accuracy of the study, and point to difficulties in assigning specific long COVID symptoms to different variants.
“It's a retrospective observational study, which always raises questions of bias in terms of whether [this] is actually truly due to the Alpha variant, or is it due to some other factors that went along with the Alpha variant,” he told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview on March 30. “There's so many variables changing in parallel that to pinpoint any one of those and claim that variable as the cause of some pattern is hazardous.
“That's a big limitation,” he told CTVNews.ca on March 30 in a phone interview. “You really don't know unless you actually take a specimen and you do that genomic sequencing and find out [whether] this person was infected with Alpha [or] the original virus.
