Our Covid Response

[tstorm823]

Post-covid conditions (PCC) is a more general category than you are representing it as.

The authors described it as "a wide range of chronic cognitive symptoms". Neither your view or mine takes precedence over that. They expressly compared a group of people of known cognitive symptoms to those without, explicitly excluding from the control group anyone who reported pre-existing neurological symptoms.

People are still pushing this bullshit long covid narrative...

When compared to other infections, people with covid actually did better!!! There is no evidence covid causes long-term symptoms at any higher rate than any other normal infection.

These results highlight the importance of including a control group of participants with negative COVID-19 results [that had a different infection] for comparison when examining the sequelae of COVID-19.

SARS-COV-2 Positivity and Patient-Reported Well-being 3 Months After Symptomatic Illness

This cohort study compares patient-reported physical, mental, and social well-being at 3 months after symptomatic illness among adults with positive vs negative test results for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

at the start of the methods section, you will find that they explicitly use this criteria for the PCC group: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7832375/

As the global COVID-19 pandemic has progressed, evidence has emerged that some patients are experiencing prolonged multiorgan symptoms and complications beyond the initial period of acute infection and illness. The list of persisting and new symptoms reported by patients is extensive, including chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, cognitive dysfunction, and extreme fatigue. Termed long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome, the implications and consequences of such ongoing clinical manifestations are a growing health concern.

ok, cognitive slowing is one thing, but this is just horrifying

Yeah Covid was a biblical plague, and we absolutely under played how devastating it was.

Capitalism demands sacrifice!

Who cares if we kill a bunch of people, cripple many more, and drastically alter life and society as we know it as long as The Shareholders get to make sure The Wheels of Capitalism never stop grinding?

Don't you have a presidential thread to annoy?

You do make a good point. A lot of this falls square on the shoulders of Biden for his disastrous handling of COVID after promising he would "follow the science". Dr Delta Airlines demanded we make the sick leave from COVID only five days instead of ten and it was the beginning of Capitalism retaking the priority in this country over health.

Just another instance of Democrats preaching one thing while doing another and then being baffled why they get their teeth kicked in by a washed up game show host (again). But hey, if your silly little shots at me make you feel better about your team fumbling COVID so badly, be my guest and swing away.

You are wrong and silly.

Oh Worgen, don't ever change!
