Significantly worse than the flu - multi systemic organ damage. The narrative that covid is like the flu, is both wildly inaccurate as this paper explains, and also dangerous, leading to a more cavalier attitude towards covid prevention.
There was a flu pandemic 100 years ago which killed 21 million.
As always, it is difficult to assess this sort of thing without a reference to the flu. As far as I can tell, in daily life we are continuously encountering people with various chronic problems and systemically under-calling the impact of them. It is a total coincidence if a body is functioning at full capacity. If COVID increases the hazard ratios there isn't much I can do. As far as I can tell, everyone is going to…
>As far as I can tell, everyone is going to get COVID Not if everyone gets antibodies first.

What are liver supper supplements? Is there any research on this?
I found popular ones on Amazon. I tried it because of doing research on my high numbers for Epstein-Barr (aka mono). I found via NIH papers that liver issues are common with mono patients so I figured I could be having that since there were no other obvious blood results. I had Covid beforehand and when I had extreme fatigue I had the mono tests done. The EBV numbers were off the charts and then I found some NIH pape…

Most of the long COVID cases stem from the first and second waves here.

> As far as I can tell, everyone is going to get COVID This is a common feeling, but remember: You can greatly affect the probability of an infection through precautions. And if unlucky, you can greatly affect the number of times you get infected through precautions. Fewer infections, fewer rolls of the dice. As far as I'm aware, I'm still infection free and hope to remain so. I am in a much better situation than mos…
I've also not been infected that I'm aware of, although there were a couple episodes that might have been Covid. I'm tempted to pay for a blood test to check for antibodies, it only costs about $60.

resistance in your immune system is recorded in a more complicated way, you cannot do a simple test to check for covid resistance
