You seem so confident, but cite nothing (just like the comment you are referring to). However, I do note that all the symptoms noted in the comment above are actual symptoms found in survivors of severe COVID. I'm not sure about the proportions though, but is it a stretch to believe that patients who are hospitalized (by definition, severely impacted by COVID) very often have long-term damage?
- jdminhbg 6y agoThere are millions of survivors of Covid, so every conceivable bad health outcome will be present in that population.
- hcknwscommenter 6y agoYes. The question is not whether bad health outcomes exist, only the truly ignorant believe COVID is a total hoax. The question is whether COVID is significantly worse than the influenza, rhino, and corona viruses we generally get year-round. The answer, is resoundingly yes. COVID is much worse in terms of the short-term and long-term sequelae both in terms of the range of "bad health outcome[s]" and in terms of the likelihood that an infected person will have one of these "bad health outcome[s]".
- jdminhbg 6y agoAgain, zero evidence of this is provided. I won't be surprised if Covid ends up being slightly more or slightly less correlated with post-infection issues, but we have seen no credible evidence of this at all, much less evidence that we should worry Covid turns you into a "mentally-challenged cripple."
