Iā€™m on my eight day of testing continuously positive, I had my second booster in August and I am not in a high-risk group. Scrolling through some of the last dayā€™s posts, I think of all the people the likes of Kelly and Lemoi actually, really, physically hurt. And I am filled with a sense of dread, because, dear folks: this is not the last pandemic in my lifetime. I am not a medical professional, but as a biologist with a bit of statistical training under my beltā€¦ wellā€¦

In 13, the beast is rising
The Frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation
The warlord will arise
Terror, death, destruction
Pour from the eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions
Is always in your hands

Iron Maiden, always good for your philosophical references.

ā€œMost respondents with long COVID reported that their cognitive and perceptual abilities had decreased since they had COVID, which was not surprising, but what was really fascinating was how many respondents reported deficits,ā€ says Kieseler.

ā€œIt was not just a small concentration of really impaired cases but a broad majority of people in the long COVID group reported noticeable difficulties doing things that they were able to do before contracting COVID-19 without any problems.ā€

ā€œOne of the challenges that many respondents reported was a difficulty with visualizing family and friends, which is something that we often hear from prosopagnosics,ā€ says Duchaine, who is the co-founder of faceblind.org.

I wonder if the number of neurological issues or symptoms associated with COVID is increasing, or if we are just seeing more reports now? :thinking: This mentions cases started showing up three years ago:

This makes sense. The article points out that other viruses can affect hearing. The specific one Iā€™m thinking about is mumps. I had a boyfriend in college who was mostly deaf in one ear due to an pre-adolescent case. He should have worn a hearing aid, but did not because vanity.

I cannot take joy in her suffering, but I cannot find it in me to feel terribly bad either. FAFO comes to mind, mostly.
