More Than One-Third of Individuals With COVID-19 Experience Long COVID
Long COVID remains globally prevalent following COVID-19 infection, with a significant burden of symptoms lasting 1 to 2 years postinfection.

I single handedly blame the “not resting” over every other factor.
Being female is part of that.
We’ve been conditioned to “keep calm and carry on” despite adversity.

Here's what people don't understand:
Long COVID isn't mild symptoms, lasting longer. It's COVID-induced dysregulation that prevents the mitochondria from doing their job. It's affecting millions, like me. Forcing former athletes to inactivity. The very definition of purgatory. Not dead, not living.

Broken record territory rapidly approaching, but once again: Homelessness is not a societal inevitability. It's a policy failure.
This is a solvable issue with a known solution, even under capitalism, because that solution is less expensive than the current responses.

1. The single most pernicious and damaging societal imperative I see in action right now, with Ireland in a Covid wave, is this:
'There's no need to test'.
Why? Not just because it tacitly normalises unmitigated transmission, but, more importantly, it hides Long Covid.
