Key Takeaways

Millions of Americans might be out of work due to Long COVID

About 14% of working-age people with Long COVID hadn’t returned to their jobs within three months

People with five or more symptoms were more than twice as likely to be out of work

So cool that covid is just being treated as an unstoppable force we just have to live with, and demands of universal healthcare have been shit canned among mainstream discourse because what's called "the left" in the Burger Reich wanted to go back to brunch.

“Given the millions of people who have had COVID-19 in the United States and the millions of people that report prolonged symptoms, this is not a small problem,” said Venkatesh. “So, it does require big interventions.”

don't stop now! who will step up to carry out these big interventions, and how will they look like, it's the constantly missing second half of the article, or are we always just going to be stuck in the 'raising awareness' stage

If a public health person ever says that we need to develop interventions, you already know that they are going to do fuck all except maybe make a "mHealth mobile app" that just gives you information that already exists on the CDC website
