It's never over. "Long COVID" is coming for you.
Nobody expects an inquisition, except maybe in the catacombs of The Science™, where one may hear among the screams: "If you torture the data long enough, it will confess." Career pressures of publish-or-perish coupled with the bonanza of fast-tracked manuscripts associated with COVID-19 produce remarkable (unsettling? hilarious?) examples of a Data Inquisition. Peer-reviewed publications establish with precision that anywhere from 5 to 80 percent will suffer some form of Long COVID — regardless whether they actually caught the virus or not.
Meanwhile, the media magnify fears over the mystery of Long COVID. One third of all infected will suffer chronic and debilitating symptoms! Niggling details didn't make it to press, though, such as how most subjects were the vulnerable elderly and hospitalized for severe acute infection. One in five may develop Long COVID, says the CDC, and vaccination will protect you! Yet the article buried how vaccination can also increase risk of Long COVID and lead to worse outcomes than hospitalization for influenza. Marvel in horror as people lose ten I.Q. points to Long COVID! Never you mind all subjects were severe and critical cases. Long COVID can even lead to death! Actual underlying causes may have nothing to do with Long COVID, but let that not stand in the way of sensational headlines magnetizing clicks.
Nevertheless, actual SARS-CoV-2 infections can lead to actual chronic conditions, but nailing down the prevalence is elusive. Government analysts with the U.K. Office for National Statistics grappling with this issue found that overall, 11.5 percent on average suffer longer-term symptoms out to 5 weeks that falls to around 3 percent at 12 weeks improving afterward. Women and elderly are more vulnerable, including those with the well known comorbidity obesity, itself a "pandemic" estimated to kill

They desperately want to keep it going, the heck with reality.
The author made an interesting connection between isolation (lockdowns) and illness.
Many of the most deadly of effects of COVID-19 Wuhan virus have nothing to do with any actual infection. Long isolation and the resulting depression, the severing of supply lines because there is nobody available to maintain them, the hastened death of millions who cannot obtain medical treatment for other conditions unrelated to COVID-19 virus, and the threat of starvation and/or war involving millions if not billions.
And they want to raise our taxes.
Now every malady under the sun right down to ingrown toenails will be labeled as “long Covid”.
Gotta keep the fear porn going.
And no doubt, some of what is being labeled as “long Covid” is vax side effects, but hey, they can’t admit that, so they write it off as something else.
Bret Weinstein covered this, among other COVID related things such as Ivermectin, etc., convincingly in these two videos I ran across and watched a few weeks back. Perhaps they may be of interest to others on this matter and other COVID related matters.

Not according to the "official" data as reported by all the "official" government and media sites.
Officially -- ( 6,305,877 "global deaths" according to Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center / 7,901,083,456 global population according ti=o US government ) x 100 = 0.0798 percent mortality rate. Less than one tenth of one percent over two and a half years.

The pandemic has been a game of changing definitions, gaslighting, exaggeration, fear mongering and this game continues.
Since the start of the bogus pandemic and governmental idiocy, a mere 99.9 percent of the world has SURVIVED the pandemic.
This is why even a site like American Thinker cannot think clearly, in publishing the assertion that "nailing down the prevalence is elusive."
Not elusive. Nailed down, as above. According to official , sourceddata. Not elusive at all. The scam has been a media "event" fed by corrupt governments.
I had it and have four positive IgG antibody tests to prove it.
I also now have atrial fibrillation, which I did not have before.

I agree with you. I have a colleague who, once we returned to the office, etc. realized he nearly lost his mind during “lockdown.” He has a couple of comorbities, so the fear got him to isolate. He nearly lost his job.
He has bounced back and is doing a higher level of work than before the shutdown. It also looks like he has lost some weight in the last couple of months.
I have a second colleague so scared of the vid (no known comorbities, but the guy habitually leaves monster sized prescription drug bottles on his desk) that he now has facial rashes due to masking (also not the most hygienic person). At a office party he took a piece of cake and went back to his office to eat it rather than remove his mask in the conference room.
I could see this guy getting a staff infection or developing other issues because of this.
Dumb headline. The common cold is a variation of the covid virus.
