After Covid infection 40% do NOT return to normal work. Study: “The influence of post-COVID-19 on the working-age population is SUBSTANTIAL, and it is expected to result in enduring strains on economic and healthcare systems.”
A new study has shown SARS-CoV-2 infection is DISTINCT from common respiratory viruses!
Unequivocally, COVID is NOT "just a cold."
These findings are HUGELY significant, for multiple reasons! Here's a breakdown of the study (written for a general audience)...
“Think you’ve grasped the full extent of COVID’s ongoing impact? Think again. As Americans shrug off vaccines and forget indoor air quality, the virus stealthily continues its destructive path. This was pretty much inevitable without new guidance urging a change in strategy and nobody telling us the full truth.
The danger is clear and present: COVID isn’t merely a respiratory illness; it’s a multi-dimensional threat impacting brain function, attacking almost all of the body’s organs, producing elevated risks of all kinds, and weakening our ability to fight off other diseases. Reinfections are thought to produce cumulative risks, and Long COVID is on the rise. Unfortunately, Long COVID is now being considered a long-term chronic illness — something many people will never fully recover from.”
May 31, 2024 — not early in the pandemic but almost 5 years in:
"Spain is in a new epidemic wave of covid. The incidence of flu and RSV is zero. All respiratory illnesses now are covid."
