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.
And let’s be real, they’re probably being conservative.

When someone mentions being sick these days I’m just like “Wow, it’s weird how everyone is getting sick right now.”
I’ve heard people say “There’s something going around right now” without a trace of irony.
I love saying that to people ironically, knowing they won’t see the irony. We are so not okay…

Can COVID affect fertility as well? I know early on it was a concern that was raised but I haven’t kept up.
Research indicates COVID damages erectile tissue and may impact testicular function, leading to erectile dysfunction and lower testosterone
COVID can stop my PP from getting hard?
COVID is a vascular disease. It damages blood vessels and in some cases causes abnormal clotting.
