To determine how scary "Long Covid" is, you have to take into account both how bad and how frequent it is. Articles like these are just fearmongering. They likely cause it in many cases by giving people hypochondria.
- nojito 6y agoHow is a story about a dedicated clinic(s) focused on a mysterious new condition fear mongering? Individuals like yourself that hand wave away COVID do much more harm.
- anoncake 6y agoOne story is not. The reporting of the media as a whole is. It's always FEAR FEAR FEAR, without mentioning how likely these cases actually are. Because of this, there are young, healthy people who think they have a significant chance of dying of Covid, which is just objectively wrong. But it's understandable. If you dare trying to look rationally at the matter, you get accused of "hand wav[ing] away COVID". As if the only two options were "worse than the plague" and "harmless like the common cold".
