I've said it before, Long-COVID sufferers are a desperately untapped revolutionary source

They know their government failed them, and when I was on reddit a lot of them even agreed that the virus probably wasn't Chinese in origin (because you know, it's not: https://imgur.com/a/CRwan3n)

I was upvoted for saying that LC sufferers should form their own communes, and then I was banned from reddit for this

To some extent I think recognition of long-covid is already a selective bias for potential comrades. I know people who are almost certainly suffering from long covid (I know you can't armchair diagnose people but the timelines and symptoms line up perfectly) that are unable to entertain the idea that they could have long covid or even just to recognize that they have been complaining about the same fatigue for months and instead continue to insist it's an isolated thing this week/today no point seeing a doctor.

Yup.

Long COVID is also curable btw, you just have to not ever be exposed to COVID again. I was able to function great for 1 year straight by avoiding all public buildings and people who go into public buildings.

For a lot of Long COVID sufferers, some type of COVID-focused farm commune literally is the only available solution other than suicide.

And BTW the tests don't work, they often show up negative when the user is actually positive. The reason I know this is because my brother visits twice a year on holidays, and I always get sick after this, with symptoms identical to COVID, even though he tests negative. Keep in mind I have the privilege of living completely alone, so there's literally no other possible explanation
