Over 90% of those deaths are Americans.

    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.

    That’s not too much. If anything I’d consider other countries don’t report it, hard to believe the US is hit that much harder

    I know some folks who think the vaccines are the cause of covid. They have other weird beliefs based on gossip and stories.

    Don’t forget, they stopped reporting a lot of COVID related deaths as COVID a while back. Lots of sweeping things under the rug.

      This whole epidemic was sweeping under rugs from start to probably forever. Insane malpractice on so many levels and right wing nut jobs cry about governments asking them to wear masks or getting a shot as if that was a problem.

        I find some irony in the fact that a lot of those that refused to wear masks during Covid are now wearing masks as ICE.

    COVID broke public health. You can’t even get tested where I live. Nobody has any idea of the prevelance.

      I’ve been saying it’s endemic for the whole earth for years. Now it’s just another thing to test for (in my area) when people come in for upper respiratory issues along like flu and strep.

    I’ve been coughing for 2 weeks now. Nothing serious, but I took a covid test today, out of curiousity. Test was expired. Inconclusive
