The entire political establishment is in agreement on the need to enforce the pro-corporate policy of “forever COVID,” in which the working class and broad layers of society as a whole are condemned to unending waves of mass infection, death and debilitation with Long COVID.
The 23rd was my first day fever free for my 2nd bout with COVID. It wasn’t bad at all this go around and I hadn’t had a booster in 18+ months.
Yeah, so the initial infection isn’t the only (and I would argue the lesser) concern though. It’s the 3+ years after that show increased odds of all sorts of chronic conditions like auto-immunity. Then there is the whole brain damage, even from mild cases thing.
The brain fog is something that is still affecting me. General confusion especially around time awareness (I logged into a meeting early) and other relatively simple brain tasks such as where’s my phone/keys/wallet. These were the most immediately noticeable concerns.
It’s milder, yes… but it also depends on how much of the virus you get at the time of transmission. Talking with an infected person for a couple minutes is different than being next to a person laughing in a movie theater for two plus hours. The more virus you receive at the time of infection, the more sick/damage it can do before antibodies take over.
