There's a really bad surge in Texas right now that hit me like a truck. I'd had it a few times before, but this was by far the worst and the shortness of breath and brain fog aren't going away this time.

Sorry, this is wrong. Right now it's about 200 people per day
And that's not worldwide. That's just in the US.
doesn’t that say 5.4 daily?
Can you point me to where it mentions that 5.4 stat? I'm probably misreading a chart.. I found this section which I think moldy_rice was reverencing:

That's surprising, considering we have dedicated antivirals for it now. 😲
people have since balked mask usage, and vaccinations. i recently spoke to someone and they said "it still exist, you can do that forever"?)
Those don’t work very well compared to the vaccines and the people who would most benefit from them refuse to take them anyway.
I got long COVID and now my memory is like the guy from Memento.
Obviously I'm exaggerating, I have trouble remembering what I've done yesterday though

I thought that was normal. . ?
It's surprising how many of the long COVID symptoms are common with ADHD. I will expand on this topic later but right now I have to find my car keys.
Between TikTok, ADHD, and COVID, I genuinely can't tell what's to blame nowadays.
Yesterday I heard that in my country of the Netherlands, 4 people received euthanasia last year due to long covid. Euthanasia is doctor assisted suicide, and to receive it you must prove "unbearable suffering" with no hope of improvement. They weren't super old either, the youngest was 51.
It can attack every system within our bodies, and even hurt our brains if we're unlucky. We failed to contain and stop the spread. Now it's mutated and will be with our species for the foreseeable future. Videos of those with really bad long covid are so sad. Physics Girl had her whole YouTube channel flipped and talked about it openly. Fascinatingly horrifying.
Young people too are increasingly requesting assisted suicide. I read an article about how in 2025, of the 8 people that made a request through the largest assisted suicide association (DGHS) due to ME/CFS, 5 were between 24 and 29 years old. There are sadly no official numbers for total assisted suicides due to ME/CFS (or any other reason) available.
Looking at a statistic I found, in 2024 the same association helped just 4 people in the same age range request assisted suicide:
