IMO these people need to make it clear from the beginning what the Fatigue in CFS/ME is and is not. And that they are not to intentionally or unintentionally make slide jokes or to treat this as casual fatigue. And if they do they will get up and walk off set. Anyone who appears on a news show should have their script down pat and able to answer the questions now matter how phrased or in what order given. If they can’t do that then they shouldn’t be speaking.
I suspect that the holiday fatigue statement was a means to liven up things and to keep folks from tuning out. The poor lady from the fatigue center had the looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I’ve seen other videos with Doctors, Medical Researchers and Advocates for CFS/ME do the exact same thing.
Why discuss regular fatigue along with CFS? They're totally different, and this leads one to believe CFS is just 'major stress,' which we know it's not.

absoulutely agree. what is amusing is when medical professionals don't know the difference.

It would be funny if it didn't translate to indifference and ineptitude when we seek medical treatment.
