These are insane numbers! Somehow the long covid ones are the ones that scare me the most. An ex colleague of mine got long covid after an infection in 2023-2024 (when covid “was over”). She now has so much brain fog she can’t live independently anymore… scary shit
its called sequelae, alot of viruses can cause post-viral syndromes, long covid is the unofficial term. i believe it triggered my atopic dermatitis more early than usual.
Indeed… I know somebody who else has it and is just energy starved like crazy. If she goes anywhere she just crashes in the evening and needs 3 days to recover. Doing anything is basically wondering whether its worth it to crash for 2 days afterwards…
And the research for it has dropped. So its basically an “I hope it passes this month” by the doctors as there’s no actual treatment (apparently).
Sounds like ME/CFS. I have that, it sucks dick. Had to go to the doctor in-person on Monday, and it fucked me up until today (Saturday). Normally I do phone consult, but The System says No sometimes. The only treatment is “try not to trigger symptoms and hope you recover” like it’s the 1800’s 😂 like at least give me opium or something
I’ve heard it from them, but maybe there’s not that much being done in our area/country to find a solution for long covid ( or maybe there is and we just don’t know about it/have any breakthroughs ).
The weekly infections isn’t so bad. That means everyone catching it once every 2 years on average. I assumed it would be an annual or semi annual thing.
However, the world is forever changed. I was recently on holiday in Bali with my mother in law. She was quite unwell with cocid like symptoms. Couldn’t get a test anywhere. The locals would sell anything if they could make a buck, as they are mostly subsitence living. I assume it’s a policy.
I know they are still available in Australia but they are less prevalent and nobody bothers testing or isolating if they are. People think it’s just a cold as they don’t personally get very sick. The selfishness and lack of scientific and medical understanding in the age of information is an indctment of humanity.

Brain fog doesn’t seem like the best term, it needs something more clinical.
long covid isnt a medical term, i thinks it called sequelae for complications outside of an infeciton.

The research is actually still picking up. Otherwise you are spot on.
Oh that’s good to hear!

This is the misinformation age.
i track that website, as well as wastewater surveilance to give me some idea of how careful I need to be, week by week.
What metrics do you use? Like, what’s the line at which you wear a mask?
I used to go by number of infections per 100,000 but I can’t find that anymore and I feel lost.
