US mismanagement, in this case, is only responsible for US issues.

Is this the true meaning of FOX - die?!

M-Metal Gear!!

fox meaning the news network

A number of primary schools in the south-west of our country have said that they refuse to re-open next week, as our government has decided.
They feel that they cannot in any way safely teach the children, and refuse to endanger the lives of them and their teachers.

New "research" on "long COVID"

Still possible it's some kind of immune system issue, but if we're being really really really real, this is another case of Chronic Idiopathic I Don't Feel Good Syndrome.

1. Find an online support group for CIIDFGS (it goes by many other names)
2. Ask them to list everything shitty they've felt in the last month
3. Write down everything in the list as a symptom of CIIDFGS
4. Publish that shit

Exacerbated by the fact that nobody feels good right now because it's winter and there's a pandemic and we've been stuck in our homes for a year now unable to do anything.  Valid to feel fucked up right now.  There's definitely long-term consequences to severe COVID, considering it damages the lungs and heart, but "long COVID" as popularly described is pretty dubious.

The sample is also something like 80% women, who are disproportionally given diagnoses of Chronic Idiopathic I Don't Feel Good Syndrome.

I'm not saying that it's a thing; on the other hand, medicine as currently practiced is very into saying things like: "migraines. mostly for women? shrug" and "excruciating menstrual pain -- that's normal, just tough it out."

Unfortunately, the rigorous standards of the scientific method being what they are, patient details are anonymized to avoid corrupting the data.

Otherwise, you might discover a surprisingly high percentage of CIIDFGS patients are named Karen.

Are there comorbidities with Wifi Allergy disorders?

You are being extremely insensitive to people who have been coping with very serious health issues for many months after ' curing'  from Covid.

In other words, you are being an asshole.

EDIT: sorry, I missed the cynicism

Well no, actually, he's not denying long covid, he's criticising a particular study due to it's methodology. Which is not unfair: they are basically running online polls for their paper.

Anddd... really, maybe we should all step back and  breathe deeply before start flinging epithets? I know we are all quite emotional about this. There has been too much death, too much pain. None here are without sin, but I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Leave the pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound,  and I spare your lives. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror. I await your answer. You have one full day to decide

[martinuzz]

Oh sorry, I must have missed the cynicism.  It's just that I personally know someone who is suffering terribly still, a year after getting Covid. And he's not a hypochondriac.


EDIT: And yeah, this whole lockdown thing is getting to me. Where at first, I just missed going out to have a beer and a chat in the pub, I no longer miss it, I am now mostly just trying to remember how it was like to go out and see people.

A poor mental health pandemic rages quietly in the shadows of the Covid pandemic

I count this is another aspect of the long-term effects of COVID.  It's not necessarily a "health" effect, but the total impact on society of having unequivocally disrupted education for more than an entire school year is very likely underestimated and unappreciated.

This disruption to education concerns me more than the immediate loss of life and health to be honest. I'd also rank it more concerning that the economic impacts.
