Description
The platypus analogy is briefly described in Module 2 of the « COVID longue : les bases » (“Long COVID: The Basics”) training course, currently only available in French. More detailed information is currently being developed. In the meantime, a preliminary animated clip helps explain where it fits into the clinical conceptual framework.

In the meantime…
A 2-minute clip produced in January 2025 introduces the platypus analogy and recalls the zebra analogy for rare conditions.
This clip is a preliminary version.
