    This is the type of thing where the vast majority will recover within 6-12 months and often a small percent will have ongoing chronic symptoms. But we’re learning a lot about post virus chronic symptoms which also seem to happen with other virus but it was harder to tell since it was a baseline normal.

    For 12 weeks, researchers followed nearly 2,200 adults who had been diagnosed with lab-confirmed COVID, and nearly 1,000 adults who had been diagnosed with lab-confirmed flu. Of those who experienced Omicron, a fifth (21%) had ongoing symptoms at 12 weeks, and 4% reported symptoms that had a moderate or severe impact on daily living.

    When it came to those who had experienced the flu, the numbers were almost identical, with 23% reporting ongoing symptoms at 12 weeks, and 4% reporting moderate or severe impacts on daily living.

    But there’s a reason why long COVID is having an outsized impact on the healthcare system, researchers from Queensland Health said in a news release: the sheer volume of COVID infections.

    There have been more than 11 million lab-confirmed COVID infections over Australia in the last three years, according to the World Health Organization—a number that is likely a massive undercount.

    By comparison, Australia only recorded only a little more than 225,000 lab-confirmed cases of flu last year.

    “In our highly vaccinated population, the public health impact of long COVID does not appear to result from any unique property of SARS-CoV-2,” Dr. John Gerrard, Queensland’s chief health officer, said in the release. “Rather, the impact results from the sheer number of people infected over a short period of time.”

    The kingdoms have changed several times, they’re basically trying to use a more accurate system based on DNA using genotyping to decide which groups are more closely related and be less reliant on behavior and appearance.

    This is a really dumb notion that still keeps popping up. There wasn’t a staged attempt, and the best reason is simply that there’s no way to fire a fake bullet or intentionally miss with a real one that wouldn’t put Donalds life in danger. And Donald cares about his own life more than anything else. It’s a stupid idea and just because it was kinda weird doesn’t mean it’s a conspiracy.
