    I saw a number of studies have started on the quality of life after covid19. The completion date for these studies are about 1 year from today.

    The driver of these studies were experience from sars2003 (long term impact) and from the many reports of post viral impacts of covid19.

    Personally, I don’t care for downplaying the potential long term impact at this time - we can’t know for many months to years. There wouldn’t be these studies if there wasn’t a need for it.

    The mask reduces the risk of transmission to others. There is no expectation for you to mask or socially distance from people you live with. This is not picking and choosing anything.

    I guess he's complaining about people calling for the Leader to mask up and not spread his spitlets full of stupidity whenever he roams around the public.

    Sadly, the breathing issues have continued for my wife about 29 days now after the other symptoms went away. It sucks. And it pisses me off to no end to see someone compare it to a cold or the flu, because of it. It's ignorant bullshit. You can see where the virus attacked her lungs in the x-rays.

    From what I'm hearing it's not just the breathing issues. There are issues with GI tract, kidneys and brain..

    It’s worse when many people actually mean the cold when they say the flu because they don’t know the difference and assume every sniffle is influenza. I had influenza twice and both times knocked me down hard. And COVID is up to 20 x worse. I am going to hard pass on willingly catching that.

    CDC:

    What is added by this report?

    In a multistate telephone survey of symptomatic adults who had a positive outpatient test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection, 35% had not returned to their usual state of health when interviewed 2–3 weeks after testing. Among persons aged 18–34 years with no chronic medical conditions, one in five had not returned to their usual state of health.

    What are the implications for public health practice?

    COVID-19 can result in prolonged illness, even among young adults without underlying chronic medical conditions. Effective public health messaging targeting these groups is warranted.

    I've known no one (including myself) that has experienced long term issues. Maybe this influences my experience and views, but the worst experience I've heard is my friend who is HIV+ but undetectable and he is fully recovered.

    We know someone that’s had the same issues after having it and they sought this steroid treatment out and it helped them a lot and they’re pretty much back to normal. FWIW

    *of note this person also has asthma issues prior to any of this

    So what is your wifes oximeter reading? Below 94%?
    What do the doctors say?
    They expect for the damage to heal on its own after a month?

    Sorry for asking personal questions but as someone who may have to face this condition any time soon, I am very interested in any info I can get.

    Brogan have you tried DMT therapy? I've heard with with full breakthrough and ego death the Machine Elves will remove the viral ghosts allowing for full and rapid recovery.
