[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does Dr. Fauci know the potential for long Covid from omicron?  It hasn’t even been in South Africa that long.[/quote]

He doesn’t. He’s been wrong on so many prior statements.[/quote]

Omicron didn’t actually originate in South Africa, it was just identified there as a new variant on November 11.  Long covid can take less than a month to develop, with symptoms showing between 5 to 15 days after one develops covid. [/quote]

It's still not even agreed upon in the medical community that "long Covid" exists. It's a good fallback argument for lockdown forever folks, but it's much more likely that "long Covid" is the result of being shut in for two years eating like garbage and feeling sorry for yourself. "Long Covid" is the new "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". It's called depression. Get outside and go for a walk in the sun.[/quote]

I have friends with long COVID over 1 year. My neighbor, a pulmonary specialist, said one quarter of his COVID patients have long haul COVID.

I am not aware of any controversy over whether it exists but more around how long it will last. Research links the mechanics of it as being similar to chronic fatigue syndrome that is triggered by a virus and send immune system into a self destruct mode for many years.  Hopefully, Long haul COVID will Not last as long as CFS. But we don’t know yet because not enough time has passed.[/quote]

Please see the award winning documentary Unrest if you care to educate yourself better about chronic fatigue syndrome. It is far from a psycho somatic mental illness. It is real and debilitates many millions around the world.

It is triggered by a virus, usually Epstein Barr virus, than creates havoc in the auto immune system of people with CFS. Many previously healthy active and happy people become shadows of their former selves after getting viral I’ll eases that result in CFS.

COVID researches are currently exploring similarities with long haul COVID, which is also triggered by a virus.

I have family and friends struggling with CFS. It is not a mental illness but very much rooted in biology. There is complex interplay between a virus, auto immune system and stress. Stigma does not help but education, research, moral support and major lifestyle modifications help. [/quote]

This makes me really want to keep my kid home...[/quote]
