ZakNo. The risk of long-term disability remains substantial.
Damn. You don’t hear about that stuff as much. I wonder how many people are affected by it and just don’t realize it.
You know how it seems like people got dumber?
Around 10% of people get Long Covid after the first infection, chances go up with follow-up infections. Long Covid has a long list of possible symptoms (a friend of a friend had a really bad cough for three months and was always exhausted) with the more severe symptoms being rarer but still fucking scary (like ME/CFS).
You don’t hear that COVID was the #5 killer in 2025.
My uncle was one of those “it’s just a cold” people, and now he’s mostly disabled from long covid. Severe breathing problems and barely survived heart surgery last year. Before covid he was an active middle aged guy, working on a ranch and regularly going out hunting and fishing.
