Persistent COVID-19 symptoms could be keeping millions of Americans out of the workforce.
Economists and policymakers have struggled to figure out why a much lower percentage of working-age adults are in the labor force than before the pandemic.

Yeah. I’m tripping over them as I walk the streets of Memphis. There everywhere!!😴
Information: Long Covid is the side effect of the clot shots. You get Long Covid from the vax.
“I suspect the COVID fiasco convinced a lot of people in the 55+ age cohort to simply retire rather than deal with the idiocy imposed on them by government and corporate leaders.”
I was part of that cohort/group, when I took early retirement at age 56, 27 years ago.
Air Travel had become a PIA. Our company had become a precursor to the crud now re racist B$ and just pure Affirmative Action B$!
So, when they offered a great early retirement package, I took it and never looked back except to say thank you and goodby to a few good people.
Now, I’m a role model/advocate re early retirement.
Probably most of our younger 55+ relatives if they got a fair early retirement plan/offer with health care covered would be gone rather quickly.
Others might try to do a work at home for 3 days a week. One of our relatives has done this since her husband had a stroke 2 years ago. She tried to retire to help him,and her employers installed an office for free in her home. She works 2-3 days at home and a short day in the office each week for basically the same pay.
A non relative friend of my wife retired as an office manager for a group of dentists, for decades. After about 2 weeks without her, she got a work at home offer for about 2.5 days, a good raise and no commute. They installed a home office at their expense and pay for any office needs she might have.
Some of our adult offspring/relations are now in their final countdown re kids in college.
We expect many of them to start part time jobs at an office, a new job or at home after their kids are graduated from college.

Yet another labor *shortage* ping.
“Long Covid” doesn’t exist.
It’s total BS by lazy-ass people who want to milk this as far as they can…
Yup.
I thought scientists correlated "long COVID" to glutathione deficiency and oxidative stress, which could have been easily corrected with a zinc/quercetin and NAC treatment.
The meaning of "long COVID" is being changed to mean whatever the LAAP-dog media needs it to be for the upcoming mid-term elections.

Long covid is being lazy with an excuse.
Well...a “longer” covid does exist...my friend had it...but she got over it after a couple months...Not believing long covid is a reason for lack of workers...
They decided to walk.
I would think they would be happy. So many times over the past decade I have heard people here on FR whine at the top of their little lungs about "da BOOMERS who are keeping all de best JOBS".
Well... they are gone. Hop to it bucko.
I-RECOVER Long COVID Treatment

There are some symptoms that can take a while to heal, but “long Covid” as an actual affliction resides completely in the head of the sufferer. This is along with any number of other long term ill-defined conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Morgellons, and others are completely imaginary.
That’s not to say people don’t suffer from these afflictions, but they’re not physical diseases — merely mental and psychiatric conditions…
We are still sending people virus checks to guard their couches and TV’s at home.
