Tsunami of Disability is Coming thanks to Covid

While you all keep downplaying the virus and the vaccine, there are possible millions of Americans who will become too disabled to even work. Just know you all will be remembered in the history books as the dumbest ****in idiots that ever lived.

Consider the numbers we know. At least 34 million Americans (and probably many more) have already contracted COVID. An increasing number of studies find that greater than one fourth of patients have developed some form of long COVID. (In one study from China, three quarters of patients had at least one ongoing symptom six months after hospital discharge, and in another report more than half of infected health care workers had symptoms seven to eight months later.) Initial indications suggest that the likelihood of developing persistent symptoms may not be related to the severity of the initial illness; it is even conceivable that infections that were initially asymptomatic could later cause persistent problems.
Common long-term symptoms include fatigue; respiratory problems; “brain fog”; cardiac, renal and gastrointestinal issues; and loss of smell and taste. Surprising manifestations continue to emerge, such as the recent realization that infection may precipitate diabetes.

For some, symptoms have now continued for many months with no apparent end in sight, with many survivors fearing that they will simply have to adjust to a “new normal.” More and more sufferers have not been able to return to work, even months after their initial illness. While the number of patients with persistent illness remains undetermined this early in the pandemic, estimates suggest that millions of Americans may enter the ranks of the permanently disabled.

Except:

- the vaccine doesn't prevent infection [does reduce it, seems to be less so with Delta]

- you can have long COVID even if you only have a mild case, not a severe case

Oh, and:

Anna Kern got her second vaccine dose five months ago, but it wasn't a ticket to normality. Kern, a 33-year-old nurse practitioner, tested positive for COVID-19 in April and has been struggling with long COVID ever since.
So, sorry, but I don't think you can place blame for long COVID on the non-vaccinated.

1 case is your argument? Compare cases of long COVID with vaccine vs no vaccine. 99% of current hospitalized are unvaccinated. They’re 100% at fault for being so damn ignorant.

While you all keep downplaying sleep loss, there are possible millions of Americans who will become too dead to even work. Just know you all will be remembered in the history books as the dumbest ****in idiots that ever lived.



Consider the numbers we know. At least 50 million Americans (and probably many more) already have a sleep disorder. An increasing number of studies find that 62% of people have developed some form of inadequate sleep. Initial indications suggest that the likelihood of developing persistent symptoms may not be related to the severity of the sleep disorder; it is even conceivable that disorders that were initially asymptomatic could later cause persistent problems.

The cumulative long-term effects of sleep loss and sleep disorders have been associated with a wide range of deleterious health consequences including an increased risk ofhypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke. After decades of research,the case can be confidently made that sleep loss and sleep disorders have profound and widespread effects on human health.
