The Long COVID Tipping Point?
The Long COVID Tipping Point?

“Imagine the impact over the next decade. This isn’t just about individuals; it’s a 10% chance of our doctors, pilots, presidents, soldiers, and police officers all grappling with the debilitating effects of Long COVID. When essential roles in society are consistently compromised, the risks are stacked like blocks in an increasingly unstable tower—one that can only lean so far before it topples. The more we ignore the impact of Long COVID, the closer we edge toward this collapse.

The toll of Long COVID is not a hypothetical future but an unfolding reality. As it affects more people, it strains every facet of society—healthcare, insurance rates, disability programs, and economic productivity. “

“PMC COVID-19 Forecasting Model, Nov 11, 2024

We're starting to get out 1st glimpse of the shape of the winter wave.

🔸Expected transmission a month from now: 1.3 million daily infections 🔸Best-case: 0.7 million daily infections 🔸Worst-case: 1.8 million daily infections

There's nothing in the data yet to suggest the winter will be markedly different from last year, which is very bad news. Within 3 weeks, we'll have a much better sense of what path we're on and what the peak of the wave may look like, likely around NYE.”

COVID-19 & The 2024 Election
COVID-19 & The 2024 Election
“Instead of prioritizing public health, the Biden-Harris Admin elected to construct an artificial ‘post-pandemic’ finish line for them to cross and throw themselves a party. It failed to result in meaningful electoral success during the midterm elections. Another holiday season came around, with more children developing serious “post-pandemic” health issues…The Biden Administration, and the larger Democrat Party, had formed a new consensus with the anti-vaccine movement: That you stupid proles all need to shut the hell up and simply embrace unlimited COVID-19 infections, especially on the job, and especially the burden of bringing the disease home to your family, infecting your loved ones. If you wind up disabled by it, well, you no longer exist to us anymore - so drop dead. You are no longer entitled to your own health or entitled to protect your children's health. Your employer is now entitled to your health, and may throw it away at the drop of a hat, fully protected by the legal system..”

Factcheck: Herd immunity is not the solution to COVID-19 pandemic
Factcheck: Herd immunity is not the solution to COVID-19 pandemic
“While herd immunity has successfully protected populations from other infectious diseases, such as measles and smallpox, all efforts to stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus — the virus behind COVID-19 — from spreading have fallen short. According to Giurgea, immune responses against this virus, whether achieved through vaccination or a previous infection, subside with time. Additionally, the ability of the virus to mutate allows it to evade these immune responses and continue to spread in the population.”

IMO, the main reason is the cognitive dysfunction caused by SARS-CoV-2.

“Every one of these subvariants is distinct enough that a whole swathe of people are no longer immune to it and it can infect them. That’s why you see this constant undulatory pattern which doesn’t look seasonal at all,” he says. Adding in seasonal factors, such as cooler weather forcing people indoors and children returning to school, and the conditions are frequently conducive to a new wave.”

“After a year of the pandemic in Arkhangelsk, 59.7% 95% confidence intervals (CI) (56.7; 62.6) of the surveyed population had had COVID-19. Among those who had been infected, symptomatic cases comprised 47.1% 95% CI (43.2; 51.0), with 8.6% 95% CI (6.6; 11.1) of them having been hospitalized. Of the asymptomatic cases, 96.2% were not captured by the healthcare system. Older age was positively associated, while smoking showed a negative association with symptomatic COVID-19. Individuals older than 65 years, and those with poor self-rated health were more likely to be hospitalized. Conclusion More than half of the infected individuals were not captured by the healthcare-based registry, mainly those with asymptomatic infections.”
