      1 in 20 humans having a now incurable disorder is pretty bad imo

        Tbh a lot of people with long covid do recover in like 6 months to 2 years. I know quite a lot of people who have had it and they all said that they started recovering after 6 months and most of them are almost fully recovered now.

        Obviously it’s still horrible to be sick for so long so avoiding spread always the best option.

          Isnt recovery predicated on not getting covid for that duration?

          I had Long COVID. (Though, not as long as other people.) I had difficulty breathing for 2-4 months, brain fog for 4-5 months, and a low-grade fever of 99.8 F (37.5 C) for nearly a whole year. Shit sucked. I basically don’t remember anything that happened during those months I had brain fog.

          This was after 3 vaccines. I can’t imagine how bad it would’ve been if I didn’t have them. During the worst part of the infection, my fever was constantly on the tipping point of “go to the ER” fever.

            That sucks. I still have a lot of brain fog after 6 months of long covid. I have trouble remembering what I did a week ago. Was finishing my studies before getting covid but have and will be out of the running for a while because I can’t concentrate for more than an hour.
