'There's no limit to what it can steal from you.
Those are the words of Natalie, a Covid survivor who went hiking on her wedding
day. Now she spends her life in a darkened bedroom. Meanwhile, a world-class
trail runner named Emilia kills herself after a Covid infection leaves her with
an unstable heart. Around the world, smart talented young men and women are
losing their careers after Covid ravages their organs, their brains, their
immune systems. Some of them will recover. Some might benefit from treatment.
Many of them will never be the same.
These were musicians, writers, scientists, athletes.
They were the future.
We only have estimates, since our governments refuse to collect or report
official data. Based on hundreds of sources, your general risk for Long Covid
hovers around 10 percent for both adults and children. That's the number given
by an important study "The Immunology of Long Covid" in
Nature Reviews
Immunology. They overview the wide range of conditions, ranging from
"breathlessness and neurocognitive impairment" to "increased risk of stroke,
myocardial infarction, and types 1 and 2 diabetes." As the authors put it, "the
oncoming burden of long Covid...is so large as to be unfathomable." That's why
so many people want to ignore the problem.
Your individual risk depends on a large number of factors, but there's a
consensus: one out of every ten people who catch Covid go on to develop Long
Covid. It's not a one-time risk, either. You face these odds every single time
you catch the disease. Your risk accumulates. According to a groundbreaking
Statistics Canada report, you're almost three times more likely to develop Long
Covid after your third infection. The more times you catch Covid, the more
likely you are to come down with a debilitating chronic illness.
Although the media has dismissed previous calculations that Covid is now more
contagious than measles, the current data tells a different story. According to
the Pandemic Mitigation Project, we'll soon be averaging 2 million cases per
day. If nothing else, that gives the flu a run for its money. As we've seen
now, Covid spreads in the spring, the summer, the fall, and the winter. This is
what your friends and family think you should be fine with.'
