I hate to tell you this. It isn't because the threat has gone away. This is not uplifting.

The article says it’s either the impact of changes in the virus or increased immunity. I’m personally quite worried about long covid so to me, that WAS good news. Why do you say it’s not?

The cynical assumption that it’s just people accepting their long covid as normal instead of something exceptional to report on. As you said though the article doesn’t indicate why it changed.

(Edit) the odd bit from the article is that is the number of folks who report ever having long covid symptoms is down. Which is an indicator that there may need to be some follow up with a longitudinal study.

I guess it's a sort of vague thing to define. People may attribute things to long covid and then later find out there was some other reason they'd been feeling off.
