That’s where you stretch out Covid with a fake cough as long as possible so you can get a check for $3500 for as long as possible.

“Long Covid? What the hell is that?”

Post-COVID-19 syndrome involves a variety of new, returning or ongoing symptoms that people experience more than four weeks after getting COVID-19. In some people, post-COVID-19 syndrome lasts months or years or causes disability.

Research suggests that between one month and one year after having COVID-19, 1 in 5 people ages 18 to 64 has at least one medical condition that might be due to COVID-19. Among people age 65 and older, 1 in 4 has at least one medical condition that might be due to COVID-19.

And a disability can have different problems. A disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions).

It’s a debilitating lung disease. My brother has it. It has pretty much destroyed his life. He went from a robust, hard-working factory worker to a weak, easily fatigued near invalid. He has coughing fits that last minutes at a time, during which he is gasping for breath. It disrupts his sleep, adding to the fatigue, and during one episode of which he had two heart attacks.

Long COVID is like the long flu. I have had that each winter since a small boy. How would I file for back payments?
