@KN3RDS I remember reading an article from before the vaccines were out (fall 2020-ish?) based on data from insurance companies (for, say, long-term disability insurance claims), and their back-of-the-napkin figure for long Covid sufferers out of the work force (so not counting dead and not counting elderly, most of whom died), was 2 million. I'm surprised it's as small as 3 million here, 2+ years later.

@swampudlian Yeah, similarly I remember reading this MIT article back in 2020 and it has remained eerily prescient.

We’re not going back to normal

Social distancing is here to stay for much more than a few weeks. It will upend our way of life, in some ways forever.
