A new investigation led by researchers from the University College London and Dartmouth College suggests 14% of Americans had long COVID by the end of 2022. The details of the investigation are published in PLOS One.
Moreover, Americans who report having experienced long COVID said they also experienced more anxiety, low mood, and difficulty with memory.
All data was based on 461,550 respondents to the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, conducted from June 2022 to December 2022. Researchers compared survey answers among those who said they have had long COVID, those who said they have had COVID-19 but no lingering symptoms, and those who had never had COVID-19.
Things are going great!
Rates of disability are not decreasing or levelling off, so I doubt the new variants are less dangerous in this regard, but I guess we'll see.
I'm actually getting pretty paranoid about COVID since I've been in close contact with people who have had it, but I've never gotten it in all this time. So sometimes I wonder if I somehow missed it or was asymptomatic or something, and it's gonna come back to bite me with delayed symptoms later. Not a fun feeling
There's a frothing, enraged lunatic locked away in my subconscious that's incapable of coping with the absolute wildness of Let It Rip and all the ways it's fucking humanity. They pass notes with the Climate Change guy, the Jakarta Method guy, the Palestine guy, etc...

I might draw that, it makes me think of the Calvin's subconscious strips
Lol please share if you do.
I'm in a similar boat. We've probably been getting microdosed the entire time. No idea if that means it's doing damage or not though, or if thats confined to breakthrough cases.
The evidence seems to be that the less covid you are exposed to, the better odds you have avoiding a serious health outcome. what exactly those odds are, no one really knows yet.
