I agree, and it infuriates me that this doesn’t get more sttention. I have a colleague who had a mild case and is now dealing with kidney failure due to vascular damage. I have had a couple kids in for severe weight loss due to altered sensation so “everything tastes like BO” or variations on that. Had several kids dealing with prolonged exercise intolerance, which is incredibly hard on young athletes, due to myocardial or lung damage. This is not a “death or nothing” illness. And treating it like it is condemns an awful lot of kids (and adults) to a totally unknown, possibly lifelong, period of disability. It’s been 2 years and, folks, still WDKS. However bad we think it is, it keeps showing itself to be worse. And the chuckleheads who are pro-virus are making it so much worse. Just saw an article about an ICU doc in Richmond suing Sentara to be allowed to prescribe ivermectin to his patients. In the ICU. Based on a small study he wrote which has been retracted due to “irregularities.” Another about families smuggling ivermectin and hydrochloroquine into hospitals and administering them without knowledge of the medical team. And these folks are being hailed as heros!
ETA, because it’s not worth it’s own post, that we now have Omicron confirmed in VA. No shock, no surprise, but here we go…
