Some are saying there's another wave on its way for the new year.

Some are saying there's another wave on its way for the new year.

There's been a sharp increase in both cases and deaths recently, but I don't know if that was local or national. I saw it on a TV news broadcast, but I'm not finding much info otherwise.

Just dont believe it. Here the government agencies don't give any data other than normal flue figures which Covid is considered to be.

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah. Like Trump used to say, if you don't count the cases then it just disappears right?

[Scot Dutchy]

Well never trust government data and I said that.

Influenza does not leave a person disabled with little or no solution as my friends partner is.....a healthy active thirty year old now on disability pension....no co-morbidities...

Mortality rates following SARS-CoV-2 infection have decreased as a consequence of public health policies, vaccination, and acute antiviral and anti-inflammatory therapies.1 However, in the wake of the pandemic, post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, or long COVID, has emerged: a chronic illness in people who have ongoing multidimensional symptomatology and disability weeks to years after the initial infection.2 Early reports of long COVID prevalence, summarised in a systematic review examining the frequency and variety of persistent symptoms after COVID-19, found that the median proportion of people who had at least one persistent symptom 60 days or more after diagnosis or at least 30 days after recovery from COVID-19 infection was 73%.3 However, the estimated prevalence depends on the duration, population, and symptoms used to define long COVID. More recently, community-based studies have suggested a lower prevalence of persistent symptoms;4 whereas among people who were hospitalised following COVID-19 infection, a high proportion do not fully recover (50–70%).5, 6, 7

Some people have reported experiencing several long Covid symptoms; others report just one or two.
Something about Covid causes a significant portion of people to experience symptoms long after the initial sickness – so what do the studies tell us?
