One of my fav youtubers; Physicsgirl (Dianna Cowern) is currently completely out of action due to long covid. She was young and healthy when she was hit with this.
This is scary.
- anamexis 4y agoIt's hard to overstate how "out of action" she is. She hasn't been out of bed in months except to go to the hospital, and can barely speak.
- andyjohnson0 4y agoUpdate from early March presented by her friend Simone Giertz: https://youtu.be/vydgkCCXbTA https://youtu.be/vydgkCCXbTA Really awful situation.
- Invictus0 4y agoFor all the people in this comment section saying long covid is fake, please watch the video the other commenter posted and ask yourself: Why would Dianna fake this? Why would she fake being on a ventilator for 14 months in the prime of her life? Why would she fake being unable to move, think, talk, read?
- josephcsible 4y agoFalse dichotomy. The only possibilities aren't "Dianna is faking being ill" or "Dianna really has long COVID". There's also "Dianna really is seriously ill but not with long COVID".

- skrebbel 4y agoThis is an uninteresting argument. COVID happened, and suddenly way more people than before reported these kinds of symptoms. You can make this argument in any individual case, sure, but on the macro level, your argument becomes that either somehow lots of people got chronic fatigue syndrome (and similar) all at the same time, or lots of people are suddenly faking it all at the same time, or long COVID is real. I mean yes, mass hysteria does exist, culturally-bound mental disorders also exist, but the most obvious explanation of these facts is that yes, long COVID is a thing.
