This is interesting. Take note...


"Studies estimate that perhaps 10% to 30% of people infected with the coronavirus may develop long-term symptoms. It’s unclear why some people develop long COVID and others don’t, but four factors appear to increase the risk: high levels of viral RNA early during an infection; the presence of certain autoantibodies; the reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus; and having Type 2 diabetes."

Thanks for the info, which I find reassuring. I suspect that most people will catch COVID 19 eventually, myself included.

While I'm considered technically in the "high risk" category due to age and medial history, at least I know that I'm not diabetic, nor do I carry Epstein-Barr virus, so risks of long term symptoms are reduced.

Very similar to Long Flu and the Long common cold .
But with the Moronic variant less severe .

Hopefully this information wakes up some antimaskers who think that they can run around spreading covid with no worries just because they got vaccinated.

As a biology major, I found the video about the types of viruses very informative. I suspect the average anti-vaxxer wouldn't understand a word of it.

Are you paid to sound stupid?
It has still not percolated to you that I provide both the Facts and the humour .

You are just the straight man who gets water poured over him all the time .

Are there any examples of you ever making a post creating a view point or answering a post with anything but some absurd ad hominem comment ?

P.S. If Moronic is the Covid variant of the moment , how can you have Long Moronic when it is less severe than the common cold ?

'Facts' are something you have only a tenuous relationship with; 'bullshit' is clearly a very close acquaintance of yours.
