“Long Covid, a disease that studies have shown to have a quality of life worse than some end-stage cancers. We know it can be fatal. Many people with Long Covid have described it as a ‘living death.’

There are no cures, no established treatments, no financial support, and no incoming research funding despite the risk of Long Covid increasing with each COVID-19 infection.” https://thesicktimes.org/2023/11/14/welcome-to-the-sick-times-a-letter-from-our-co-founder-miles-w-griffis/

Welcome to The Sick Times, a letter from our co-founder Miles W. Griffis - The Sick Times

It’s not mysterious. A highly contagious airborne virus has spread around the world for the past four years and continues to infect people as I write. SARS-Cov-2 has killed an excess of 23 million people worldwide and plagued over 65 million people with Long Covid and other associated conditions.

@taylorlorenz people have no idea, and from what I understand long Covid is a lot worse and a lot more than just MECFS. But people have no idea what it’s like to be so tired you can’t even stay awake, sleep as long as you want, but then wake up and feel just as tired. And sometimes you can’t sleep as long as you want you’ll just wake up at 4 AM, still just as tired as when you went to sleep, unable to continue to sleep.

The people who are willing to kill their friends and neighbors so they can live their lives will not be able to live their lives. Then what?

oh and if you think the government will take care of you if you lose your job? Lol! Do these people have years pf savings to float them until disability kicks in?

And don’t forget that even if they do come up with a treatment that helps, we don’t have enough human capital stock to make the medication, put it into boxes, get it to the pharmacies, or dispense it to the patients because we’re killing all those people for brunch and shopping.

But honestly, with all the Covid brain damage we are forcing on literally everyone, who will even be smart enough to come up with any kind of treatments?
