āIf people really understood the science behind all this, they would have a very different attitudeā
Five years of the COVID-19 pandemic: An interview with Dr. Arijit Chakravarty
āImagine the impact over the next decade. This isnāt just about individuals; itās 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 towerāone 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 societyāhealthcare, insurance rates, disability programs, and economic productivity. ā

November 5, 2024: āA reminder that ~800,000 Americans have been killed by COVID since the Biden-Harris administration began. Tens of millions have Long C0VlD. And C0VlD spread more in September 2024 than any point in 2020. They refuse to do anything to stop the spread, even as thousands die weekly.ā
āHold up youāre telling me that by the 3rd time I get COVID, thereās a 1 in 2.5 chance I develop life-changing chronic illness āļøāļø

ā#CovidIsNotOver This is my 15th semester teaching RN and NP students about Covid 19 pathophysiology. Not a lot has changed except for how much damage we now know the virus causes. It still baffles me that people donāt know itās airborne, donāt know the risks. 1ā

Iāve lost count of how many people have said this to me. People who assume Iām āchoosingā to stay home in bed or who think fear of Covid is the only determining factor to my not socializing more.

In 2024, the facts are clear: COVID far outpaced flu in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
COVID also carries the added burden of long COVID, a far more complex, multi-system condition than the long-term effects seen with flu.
COVID is not like the flu. It never was!
