Are you seriously suggesting post-viral syndrome isn't a physical thing? If you are, you clearly don't know what you are talking about. Have I misunderstood you? How many people cited as suffering from 'long Covid' have consulted a specialist and been diagnosed? The ONS data that Monbiot and the like treat as Gospel is an entirely unverified, self-reporting survey. You can respond yes to the question of 'long Covid' without having ever tested positive or had symptoms. There is unquestionably a significant overlap then between people who are genuinely struggling to recover from viral illness (not to mention the process of intensive care itself) and hypochondriacs who definitely reckon they got Covid in Angus in November 2019 and now think 'feeling a bit shite' in a lockdown winter is a genuine illness. And media coverage absolutely replicates that self-reporting. Edited April 16, 2021 by vikingTON 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have a mate who claims to suffer from long covid because he's tired all the time lately. In this year so far he's laid a large 2 tier decking in his garden, painted the outside of his house, built a shed with a bar in it and refurbished an old pool table on top of working a full time job with its fair share of manual labour. But it's definitely the covid that's done him in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi says the way to avoid lockdowns is to keep your case numbers low enough. Well sure, but in the previous sentence you were just talking about full hospitals and ICUs forcing lockdowns. If you have a vaccine which stops most cases becoming hospitalisations/going into ICU then you can have higher cases numbers without a lockdown... And of course, when you avoid lockdown, case numbers rise, especially in winter... How do people like her get in their position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her research involves study of patterns of disease and influence of interventions in populations, which is pretty much the definition of what an epidemiologist does.

You can if your lethargy is caused by being stuck in the house for months, all the while being told a whole range of symptoms are indicators of "long covid" and that 1 in 3 people develop it. There are not 1 million people in the UK with PVFS. Edited April 16, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailorcowden Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I'm completely fine now. No regrets really about getting the az vaccine even despite yesterday. I had the AZ last month and felt like I had a bad hangover. Cleared up after around 24 hours but I felt I couldn't keep a heat in me at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
