Our neighbor got long covid. Went from a very active, helpful and involved community member .. into a recluse who lost his job, has not been able to function let alone work for almost 2 years now, and combined with economic strain is now facing bankruptcy and a divorce. Dramatic and tragic outcome for something that is "just the flu". My dad's take on it? "bad genes". For those suffering, to hear such casual dismissal is just salt in the wound.
