People claiming Covid is mild should remember that colds and flus don’t disable *en masse* like Covid does. We really need to be prioritising more research and the development of treatments for this condition.
Interesting to note that it’s self reported.
My mother’s doctor says she has it, lungs were messed up by it, thankfully seems to be improving a bit with whatever she was prescribed.
Well, if people had stayed at home, worn their masks when they went out and then got vaccinated, then they would never have gotten Covid – right?
So, surely this only effects those who broke the rules and those who are anti-vaxx?
Lost my taste and smell in the first wave still hasn’t recovered..
But is not vaccine injury?? Give me all the down votes.
Hopefully this will lead to an increase in support, research and available services for people living with not only long covid but other viral complications and chronic conditions. I was never been the same after getting EBV, which is another virus poorly misunderstood and poorly researched. They are also finding links between long covid and the reactivation of EBV which may actually play a big part in long Covid.
When the powers that be declared that the emergency is over, they meant it’s no longer a threat to industry; the appropriate actuarial tables have been updated and any excess deaths will be more or less in the same category as flu deaths.
You however, will be dealing with COVID the rest of your life. You’ll get it every 18-36 months, each time hitting that little bit harder, hoping that this round isn’t the on that will really do a number on you, because if it is and if you die of another COVID infection a few years later people will say “well, shur their lungs were never great” and continue to treat it like it’s just a stronger cold.
COVID is mild for most… But so was polio, from which you recovered in a few weeks, maybe a mild fever. The iron lungs were for those with long polio.
Have suffered with it for over a year and a half. It varies from feeling like I’ve drunk one bottle of red wine the night to drinking three. Am part of the long covid clinic in Vincent’s, and it’s such a pain in the whole because it’s a MDT that treat you, you’re reliant on all departments in the diagnostic stage to talk and communicate with each other efficiently, you can imagine how poor and antiquated this communication is
The one time I got covid and was coughing blood there was specks all over my lungs, was told It was some other shit. Got a few more scans done, the “scarring” has disappeared. Wonder if anyone else had this happen? The scarring is usually a sign of emphysema or pneumonia spotting. No idea how it disappeared, the doc doesn’t understand either.
they should have taken the…
My brother had covid twice and pror to it he was generally quite healthy and since getting it has been getting palpitations and a racing heart rate on and off and has had to see a cardiologist, has got scarring on his lungs, has been floored for 2 weeks in bed with influenza A, and in the last few weeks got the mumps and that really fecked him up.
I spent 3 days with a blinding light in one of my eyes when I got Covid, I was sure it was going to be a goner. Thankfully it has almost gone away, a year later. However, my new dyslexia seem to be here to stay, and it’s very frustrating
I am one of those. I remember when I was struggling with syndromes in 2021 I reached out to Beacon clinic to enter their program (please mind that it was around 2k EUR, so you can imagine how desperate I was). They called me two months later (because my email “got lost in their inbox” )to say that they had an available appointment in 4 months. I was like thank you, I prefer to suffer than to put my trust in you. Especially as it was in the early days of discovering the existence of the symptoms, so I didn’t want to have this typical Irish doctor’s “Ah you’ll be grand” for 2 fucking k.

Follow up with additional data showing an ever growing proportion of the population are being disabled by Long Covid – [3.1% of the UK’s population](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/prevalenceofongoingsymptomsfollowingcoronaviruscovid19infectionintheuk/2february2023) as of February 2023.
