Is there a link between prior trauma, type A personalities and Long Covid?

There’s a comparable discussion with me/cfs and I don’t know what to make of it. Why would kids get Long Covid if it is about some kind of type A personality? I wouldn’t say that I was an overachiever, more like an anxious overthinker.

They wouldn't its bullshit. There are all personality types in these conditions, it doesn't appear to discriminate, it doesn't seem to care if you are fit and healthy or ill and it certainly doesn't seem to care about how life has gone so fair and whether you have suffered emotional trauma. Its all just nonsense, but then most of Psychology is and the rest will be proven to be so in the future.

ME/CFS patient, Michiel Tack, has been covering these issues on his blog recently. Basically it's all psuedoscientic nonsense:
