      Ya it’s what the study mentioned. Since nowadays nobody tests for COVID, nobody knows that they actually got COVID and not the flue, so they can’t tell if it’s long COVID or something else.

        I’m curious to see if we reach the point of negative population growth just from Covid. Surely all these repeat infections are gonna reach some sort of threshold for mass death. Of course, I’m sure avian flu would love be tagged in for the challenge.

        edit: At 140 million births a year, it seems unlikely under covid. We’ll probably just drip obscenely high excess morbidity until something like Avian Flu comes along.
