Gregory's Server@bryanruby @OldAndCranky @TJ @BlackAzizAnansi It appears "over" because no one is testing. The virus is still circulating. People are catching covid 1-3 times a year and calling it "a bad cold" without testing.
My spouse has had long covid since last fall. It's a goddamn nightmare. Fully vaxxed & boosted, and yet still partially disabled by this horrible disease.
Y'all have a 10-20% chance of developing long covid with each infection. Don't be fools.
@bryanruby @OldAndCranky @TJ @BlackAzizAnansi Y'all have this stubborn habit of conflating the acute stage of the disease with the disease itself. The acute stage is "flu-like" after which people "recover" and feel "fine." With many viral illnesses (polio, shingles, AIDS) it can take weeks, months or years for the chronic stage to develop.
Long covid isn't merely "lingering symptoms" after infection. Long covid IS the disease.
Fuck around and find out.
