"Omicron's mild. Let it rip." One month later: "Why isn't my trash getting picked up? Where's the produce at the grocery store? Why did the clinic cancel my biopsy appt? Why hasn't my kid's teacher come back to school? I demand [cough] service!"
@WendyACronin @distancingparty Long COVID / PASC is disabling anywhere from 30-50% of those infected, regardless of severity of symptoms or vaccination status. It will easily be our next great public health crisis sooner than anyone can imagine. My disability claims manager said it was half of her caseload.
@JamesPhipps @WendyACronin @distancingparty After my negative test. My stomach was bloated to the point I felt full. My lower abdomen was sore. My stomach hurt so bad. I couldn’t keep my food down. It took 5 days to stop the fever & body aches. Then another 4 days to stop the bloating, coughing & stomach cramps

@JamesPhipps @WendyACronin @distancingparty I got much worse brain fog now, and I don't think I'll ever feel like I've taken a proper breath of air ever again 😔
@JamesPhipps @WendyACronin @distancingparty This does not comport with what I've seen in the literature. From what I've seen, vaccination reduces incidence and severity, and long-term sequelae are much rarer than that. I'm not dismissing you, but could you provide a source?
@JamesPhipps @WendyACronin @distancingparty Certainly a concern but I think you added 0's onto your %'s by accident. (According to the literature I've read.)
@JamesPhipps @WendyACronin @distancingparty 15% , of Americans haven’t received 1 dose. Censusdotgov , / so that’s about 49 million people not at all jabbed at least once
