This is what really concerns me. Given the scale of infection we could have tens or hundreds of thousands of people who long term are unable to work which is the last thing our economy needs. Not to mention the unnecessary human suffering.
I'm not sure something has ever irritated me more than this. This is something that was relatively straightforward to deal with, and honestly shouldn't have been that big of deal, and Trump has ****** it up beyond belief. He's even managed to turn it into a left-right issue which it never should have been.
I am way too lazy to look it up (and with the downgrade it would be even harder) but this is one of the first things I posted way back in March and that was when we knew only that it took weeks to make an initial recovery. Before we knew there were lasting effects that is eerily similar to the phenomenon of Post Polio or Post Lyme syndromes. The impact goes past just them not working. Chronicity almost always impacts the ability of other family members to work, and impacts them in the economic sphere into the next generation. Lots of research done on the impact of other chronic diseases. This one is probably worse because the illness may affect more than one family member
