I mean, 16% at 12 months isn't even any different to what's already known about long covid 🤷

If long flu is just as bad, we might consider trying to avoid flu as well, and that's the same precautions anyway

@luckytran We have unofficially been warned that Coronavirus contact virus isn't gone.

We have unofficially been warned to believe, that everything's back to normal.

We've unofficially been warned to avoid getting repeatedly infected, to avoid long COVID.

Many of us didn't want to listen & believe, that a crucial line had been crossed, potentially changing our lives not for the good.

@JGuz @luckytran One day apart, though. :/

It’d be funny if it weren’t frustrating.

This is actually quite true. ANY post-viral syndrome can wreck your life and/or lead to ME/CFS easily. The key difference is that you get post-viral syndromes with a lesser frequency in other common circulating viruses than from Sars-Cov-2. In addition to that people have Covid around 2 times a year on average, which gives them much more of a chance, relatively speaking, to develop said post-viral syndrome than something like the flu, which people get on average once every couple years.
