A new investigation led by researchers from the University College London and Dartmouth College suggests 14% of Americans had long COVID by the end of 2022. The details of the investigation are published in PLOS One.
Moreover, Americans who report having experienced long COVID said they also experienced more anxiety, low mood, and difficulty with memory.
All data was based on 461,550 respondents to the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, conducted from June 2022 to December 2022. Researchers compared survey answers among those who said they have had long COVID, those who said they have had COVID-19 but no lingering symptoms, and those who had never had COVID-19.
Things are going great!
Rates of disability are not decreasing or levelling off, so I doubt the new variants are less dangerous in this regard, but I guess we’ll see.
Yes. I’ve been helping a close friend through this since early 2020. You don’t want to get disabled. Not only does losing your health suck, but you will become completely depentent on a government that would rather see you dead, any friends or family that decide not to abandon you, and a healthcare system that’s designed to take all the money you get from disability.
It’s an absolute nightmare, and one of the reasons I am trying to get everyone I know to avoid covid.
I’m glad you’re helping your friend. We need to be there for each other since our social structures, government, and “health”“care” system won’t do it otherwise. It seems like a lot of people are unaware of how close they are to disaster when it comes to how bad things are for disabled people in this evil system.
