    EXCLUSIVE: Long COVID expert says the world is in 'deep trouble' and millions may suffer from debilitating physical and cognitive issues for YEARS after being infected
    • While the Covid pandemic could come to an end at some point this year, the long-term effects of the virus will linger
    • 'Long Covid' is a mysterious yet surprisingly common condition where someone feels effects of Covid long after infection - sometimes to a debilitating effect
    • With millions of Americans having contracted Covid in recent weeks, and up to 30% of them likely to develop long Covid, it could be a massive issue
    • One expert, Dr Leonard Jason, warns that the condition can disrupt the every day life of millions and hurt society as a whole
    • Another, Dr Noah Greenspan, warns that the world's current Covid situation puts it in 'deep trouble'

    Despite that tweet and all of the silly people cheering it in the comments, Spotify is in fact removing Young's music.

    Over 66 percent of Omicron cases are reinfections: study

    More than two-thirds of cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 are among people who have been reinfected with the virus, a new study said Wednesday.

    Imperial College London researchers reported that around 3,582 people — or about 66% of participants in the study — who tested positive in January had already been infected with the virus, CNBC reported.

    An additional 7.5% of the infected participants said they believed they had previously had the virus but did not confirm that with a test.

    The study looked at more than 100,000 PCR tests that were collected across England between Jan. 5 and Jan. 20.

    Spent all day yesterday in a hospital as my wife had TKR done. I talked to a few nurses that were tending to her, and they said at 4pm everyday a decision is made as to how many surgeries can can perform the next day based on staffing and room availability. They said a small percentage of hospitalized are in for covid, but its other inflictions and such. The staff are calling in with sniffles and what may be symptoms and they have been told to stay home thus the day to day staffing issue.
    I wore a mask for the longest period yet while at the hospital for 10 light hours.

    Yes, yes they do. And that's on you if you saw my mom last night.

    I'll let UCD whoop your ass, though.

    Wait... how can that be?!?! They have natural immunity. And far more people have been vaccinated than have been infected...
    So, you're saying vaccines... work?

    I just got back from Canby. Couldn’t find your ass to kick it, so I stopped at The Bake Shoppe and bought bread. Your ass was saved by a loaf of pumpernickel……….
