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.

    There’s a frothing, enraged lunatic locked away in my subconscious that’s incapable of coping with the absolute wildness of Let It Rip and all the ways it’s fucking humanity. They pass notes with the Climate Change guy, the Jakarta Method guy, the Palestine guy, etc…

    Deep down, there’s a common core to it all: “fuck you, I’m fine with this and I want more treats.” smuglord
