Just read the paper. The 33% headline is a lie. The lie is simple: they don't tell you in the headline that flu patients did poorly too, so the 33% is really about 10%. (blue is flu)

About one-third of COVID-19 survivors have a neurological or psychiatric condition six months later, a large-sample study conducted by British researchers has found. Researchers examined health records of more than 236,000 patients. They found that about 34% of COVID-19 survivors were diagnosed with a neurological or psychiatric condition and were more likely to develop brain conditions than those suffering from other respiratory tract infections, according to the study published Tuesday in The Lancet Psychiatry journal...Anxiety was the most common condition, diagnosed in 17% of patients. Fourteen percent of patients experienced mood disorders, 7% had substance misuse disorders and 5% experienced insomnia. About 13% had their first diagnosis of a mental health issue.

BTTT!
Bull Sh*t. These are Psychological (behavioral) issues not physiological problems caused by the introduction of Covid-19. Go out and ask 100,000 random adults and 33% will report similar issues with or without Covid-19.
Yep, it’s fake, but a great business with lots of customers. I found this out when I was in a terrorist attack and had to see a shrink. The first one last said “What do you want me to say?” It was hard to find the second one because every one I called was booked for 3 months. I finally a guy who borrowed someone’s office and operated out of his car. His first comment “I’ve seen soldiers from the Iraq war and you look OK to me.”
No ... they don’t believe their shit anymore.

They have respect for Fauci, and think 2 masks is better than 1
Whenever I pass someone who lifts their mask over their nose when they see that I’m not wearing a mask, I pretend to lift my imaginary mask over my nose.
Maverick, you can be my wingman any day of the week, and especially on Sunday!

Yes. But insurance doesn’t pay for ordinary life. It will however pay for ordinary life if you can label it with any code from the snake oil DSM-IV.
“Most diagnostic categories were more common in patients who had COVID-19 than in those who had influenza (HR 1·44, 95% CI 1·40–1·47 for any diagnosis; 1·78, 1·68–1·89 for any first diagnosis) and those who had other respiratory tract infections (1·16, 1·14–1·17 for any diagnosis; 1·32, 1·27–1·36 for any first diagnosis). Hazard rates were also higher in patients who were admitted to ITU than in those who were not (1·58, 1·50–1·67 for any diagnosis; 2·87, 2·45–3·35 for any first diagnosis). HRs were significantly greater than 1 for all diagnoses for patients who had COVID-19 compared with those who had influenza, except for parkinsonism and Guillain-Barré syndrome, and significantly greater than 1 for all diagnoses compared with patients who had respiratory tract infections (table 3).”
“The severity of COVID-19 had a clear effect on subsequent neurological diagnoses (Table 4, Table 5, figure 2). Overall, COVID-19 was associated with increased risk of neurological and psychiatric outcomes, but the incidences and HRs of these were greater in patients who had required hospitalisation, and markedly so in those who had required ITU admission or had developed encephalopathy, even after extensive propensity score matching for other factors (eg, age or previous cerebrovascular disease). Potential mechanisms for this association include viral invasion of the CNS,10, 11 hypercoagulable states,22 and neural effects of the immune response.9 However, the incidence and relative risk of neurological and psychiatric diagnoses were also increased even in patients with COVID-19 who did not require hospitalisation.
Some specific neurological diagnoses merit individual mention. Consistent with several other reports,23, 24 the risk of cerebrovascular events (ischaemic stroke and intracranial haemorrhage) was elevated after COVID-19, with the incidence of ischaemic stroke rising to almost one in ten (or three in 100 for a first stroke) in patients with encephalopathy. A similarly increased risk of stroke in patients who had COVID-19 compared with those who had influenza has been reported.25 Our previous study reported preliminary evidence for an association between COVID-19 and dementia.14 The data in this study support this association. Although the estimated incidence was modest in the whole COVID-19 cohort (table 2), 2·66% of patients older than 65 years (appendix p 28) and 4·72% who had encephalopathy (table 2), received a first diagnosis of dementia within 6 months of having COVID-19. The associations between COVID-19 and cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diagnoses are concerning, and information about the severity and subsequent course of these diseases is required.”
“The findings regarding anxiety and mood disorders were broadly consistent with 3-month outcome data from a study done in a smaller number of cases than our cohort, using the same network,14 and showed that the HR remained elevated, although decreasing, at the 6-month period. Unlike the earlier study, and in line with previous suggestions,28 we also observed a significantly increased risk of psychotic disorders, probably reflecting the larger sample size and longer duration of follow-up reported here. Substance use disorders and insomnia were also more common in COVID-19 survivors than in those who had influenza or other respiratory tract infections (except for the incidence of a first diagnosis of substance use disorder after COVID-19 compared with other respiratory tract infections).”
“In summary, the present data show that COVID-19 is followed by significant rates of neurological and psychiatric diagnoses over the subsequent 6 months. Services need to be configured, and resourced, to deal with this anticipated need.”

Well I think the idea is if you ‘end up in the hospital with a serious case of covid’ but survive the after affects of the virus on the body can also be serious.
