Wow, sounds like a rough go, to say the least. What was your condition prior to getting Covid? Did you have comorbidities or were you in good health?

I was in good shape. Not overweight, was able to trek around pre-COVID Italy for 2 weeks in 2019, walk several miles a day, climb to the top of towers, etc., with no problem.

A year later, I could barely get off my couch.

It was nothing for me to traverse 11 flights of stairs for a building inspection in 2019. In 2020, I could only do 2 floors at a time before exhaustion set in.

Here’s the thing; my whole house got COVID, probably with me being the original carrier.

My husband and eldest son didn’t miss a beat.

My two youngest kids had flu like symptoms for about 3 days each.

I get why some people see it as nothing more serious than the flu.

Just wish I was one of them.

I went through menopause but my endocrine levels pre-COVID were still rock solid. Happily married for 26 years and still crazy in love with my husband. No issues on that front.

Post-COVID, it was a wasteland. I looked and felt 20 years older overnight. It was like someone threw a switch and the lights went out.

There was no tapering off. My reserve well of androgens, also used to create natural steriods, had been tapped out to fight COVID. The hormones helped substantially.

Very good, and that gives some hope that even if a person’s covid symptoms drag on for months, they will eventually subside. IOW, if most cases of long covid turn out to indeed be long covid and not permanent covid, that’s a good thing.

I see, and yes, funny how it’s selective like that. That’s probably part of why it feels threatening despite the low fatality stats — its capriciousness. I hope with more time you’re able to get back to full normal.

We are in the middle of WW3, and the worlds human population is being culled at a horrendous rate.

Given the death rate, they are doing a lousy job. But it certainly could be a test run for a future attempt at playing out your scenario.

In July, the Biden administration announced that American long-COVID patients are entitled to disability rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act. “

Interesting... didn't seen that anywhere...

First, you can't trust the numbers being put out. I have come to the point I believe NOTHING from the government or NGO's like the WHO, CDC, and the various Fed, State, and local "health agencies" and the indoctrinated/purchased medical communities...

Secondly, I firmly believe the intended effects of the jab(s) isn't/aren't all immediate.
- The minimum effect is sterilization.
- Medium is death within 1-5 years due to immune system depression.
- Most immediate is those who either have the symptoms or die shortly after the jab (heart inflammation, bleeding, blood clots), or who encounter a "covid" strain afterwards and succumb to it easily because of the depressed/damaged immune system.

Again, the numbers presented are being manipulated from various sources to confuse the reality of the situation. Remember, the global elites have been and are playing the long game. It's only because of Trump screwing up their schedule that they have been forced into compressing the timetable of their activities. That is causing them to become visible to those who have taken off their masks and rose-colored glasses (VR headset) and seeing that we are in the Matrix, and have been domesticated, programmed, and enslaved for a very long time. The true horror has yet to fully be revealed to the global population. When it is, GOD help us all...

A year ago, I would have thought my above post was the ravings of a mad-man. Not anymore, because I am awake thanks to GOD and HIS intervention, and know that only HIS intervention will truly deliver us from this evil that has been in control of Humanity (like sheep in a pen) for a very long time.

This sheep has woke up, dropped his mask, and grown teeth because I see the slaughter ongoing and will not go quietly into the night....
