Wow. This article is from 2009 in regards to SARS1.

"some survivors still had mental problems even though their physical symptoms had improved... Forty percent reported some degree of chronic fatigue and 27 percent met diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome; people with fatigue symptoms were also more likely than those without them to have psychiatric disorders."

We should have known better. Instead so many of us got #LongCOVID.

@antiaall3s @violetblue are they actually going to arrest vulnerable people who mask?
