Read some Long Covid stuff this morning, and the problem with Long Covid stuff is that post-viral stuff is real, but no one knows which stuff is part of this and which isn't. Or which is but less directly. Covid seems to bring out conditions in people that they might not have known they had, or had but not to this new, more serious degree. It also just seems to do weird stuff to the brain/body that is not the Long Covid of constant fatigue or brain fog or racing heart, but like... secondary or tertiary problems. (Increased risk of blood clots, stroke, heart attacks, for example. Triggering diabetes in people, for another.)
But anyway, it's all new (because novel fucking virus) and no one knows what is for sure a part of it and what isn't, and a lot of the symptoms and conditions that appear to have dramatically increased in the population... are also things that stress does to the body. And everyone, everyone but the billionaires, is dealing with MASSIVE amounts of stress right now.
I also know most of it is not going to get dealt with properly because the pandemic denial/corporate greed is too strong. It will likely get swept under a rug or just the blanket term with no/little treatment and people being told to go to support groups. (Insurance companies love support groups because they are free.)
But I would like to know, and I am sure many others would like to as well.
Just sad thinking. I don't have a point.
