I used to read WordUp magazine .

It’s not one off, it’s estimated that 3-4.5 million people aged 25-45 are out of workforce with issues relating to post Covid symptoms.

If you look at long Covid subreddits and Facebook groups for example you can see it’s a big problem with ton of different symptoms. It will take years if study and research to develop testing, treatment and cure.

I’m just hoping it doesn’t end up being buried like CFS\ME and Lyme.

There really isn’t any. Long Covid patients will be ignored like CFS/ME are.

The good news for my friend is that he has been recovering but that half mile walk test they gave , first 6 months wouldn’t have been completed if he was taking it. He’s a former Army Ranger, NYC marathon runner, Ironman and now he struggles to hit 2 mile run. So there is hope of a slow recovery but with brain changes and low lung capacity it’s unknown if he will ever be able to be as fit.

That study has flaws , for example they did basic tests nothing advance and had less then 200 people enrolled. The study mostly included people with mild symptoms where’s it did not include people with CFS/ME or POTS.

My best friend has Long Covid and his lung capacity is half of what it was I’m 2019, he has tests to show it. And he had Covid 2 years ago. He had an MRI done Feb 2020 of his brain and his MRI from Oct 2022 look completely different, while in 2020 it was normal now it’s show that gray matter has shrunk or something like that. Super concerning for someone in his 30s.

CCW is a 2-3 year wait list in NYC.

Only criminals and untrained cops are allowed to carry in NYC.

It's Bronx DA, so based on a level 3 sex offender on parole putting a random guy in coma using knuckles re enforced glove being released the next day.

Id say a jewelry store heist with no injuries would be like an hour.
