I never said they did not exist. Nowhere do you say out of the 66,000 how many of them are suffering from the most severe complications. There are countless examples of people contracting common viruses and suffering severe, long lasting and debilitating consequences. I literally just gave you one where a poor man lost a leg. There have been studies done which have shown the common cold to induce myocarditis.
The number of people with long-Covid appears to be falling with time.
However, the virus emerged only at the end of 2019 before going global earlier this year so there is a lack of long-term data.
"We've asked, deliberately, to follow people for 25 years, I certainly hope only a very small number will have problems going beyond a year, but I could be wrong," said Prof Brightling.
So basically “long” means a few months? You need YEARS to be able to claim long term effects. Years of actual study. Again, you spouting out general symptoms means nothing. Do a majority of people suffer these complications? If all 66,000 people have breathing problems, heart issues and kidney failure then please show me the clinical data for this.
Here’s an article from 2009 about swine flu:
However, as with any viral infection, there could be longer-lasting health problems. It is thought that chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalopathy (ME), can be triggered by viruses, including flu. The symptoms of ME can range from tiredness and recurrent mild illnesses to debilitating conditions that can affect every area of a person's life.
So let’s not act like “chronic fatigue” following a virus is novel to Covid 19.
And as I mentioned and as you ignored the common cold and flu can also lead to serious complications. I’ll give you plenty of actual scientific studies if you want showing how
Influenza can cause long term neurological or cardiac effects. Shall we bunker down for all of time? I mean the argument has now shifted from how deadly the virus is to the long term effects. Basically whatever it takes to get the lockdown you want right?
