“99.7% recovery from COVID may not be the whole story. Many will suffer from other life shortening ailments as the result of the virus.”
Well, color me skeptical. It is common to blame widespread chronic conditions on politically correct causes. Thus, we have seen Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, military garbage piit burning illness and scores of other supposed syndromes over the years. Now it is “long covid”.
Here some reported “long covid” symptoms:
Fatigue
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Cough
Joint pain
Chest pain
Memory, concentration or sleep problems
Muscle pain or headache
Fast or pounding heartbeat
Loss of smell or taste
Depression or anxiety
Fever
Dizziness when you stand
Worsened symptoms after physical or mental activities
Of course, these are all symptoms that can be blamed on anything or nothing. Completely unloveable.
One should consider the human response with the mitigation efforts: masks, quarantines, vaccine mandates, social distancing and lock downs. Also, there is deceit, fear and greed. Human nature is a harsh taskmaster. So far, the human response has been as bad as the disease.
In the case of long term deaths from Covid vs deaths from vaccine, time will tell which one will be the denominator and which one the numerator--for a percentage:
37. Oh hell. I’ve had most of these symptoms, often at one time and all I had was cardiac arrest, two comas, pneumonia, and brain seizures. The worst was when eating, all I could taste was the fork. /sarcasm
Aaron, tell Prevea to go to hell and enjoy watching their company go down the proverbial toilet.
