One of my 2 bosses got it. Both her & her husband.

January 2022 Covid death toll in the USA
62,468 dead. This is from World-o-meter
The death toll has dropped the last three days in a row, so I hope it keeps going down.
It's just so sad to lose more people from Covid in one month than we did in all the years we were in Vietnam

I found out that a old high school buddy of mine passed last week from Covid.
He retired around 8 years ago and moved to Arizona for the Sun and fun. He was only 67

As I said in a earlier post my BIL's sister and husband(both not vaccinated) both came down with Covid and she spent 5 weeks in ICU but her husband did pretty good, stayed out of the hospital for the most part. Well he had a major stroke late last week, he's in the hospital and not doing good at all. They don't know if he will be able to walk or even talk again. They don't know or won't say if this was caused by covid but he had no history of clots or strokes.

I have not been able to find out the number of people with long covid and how many different types of long covid there is. I've read a about a lot of different symptoms but no % of people who come down with long covid. You would think the CDC would keep track of stuff like that, I just can't find it. But I'm also not the best at finding stuff on the CDC web site.

I've been feeling that they are acting like it is almost over when it's not maybe giving in to public pressure.

 

Well then you won't want to read about the BA2 subvariant of Omicron. We might be right back to the beginning where nothing works against it. Lets hope not.

Already did which is why I feel they are getting ahead of themselves in lifting restrictions.

 

I’m also curious about long COVID. I know of two people that have it - apparently Vancouver (BC) has a specialized long COVID clinic now. I’m also verrrry curious about what I’m calling COVID brain - the impact of prolonged uncertainty, isolation and stress on people’s emotions and behaviours. It kinda reminds me of winter-over syndrome.

 

I suspect that you’re indirectly pointing to two different issues:
1. COVID Brain-as-environmental-phenomenon: uncertainty, stress, isolation
2. COVID Brain-as-internal-medical-phenomenon: due to a stressed and disruptive cardiovascular phenomenon, how has the brain functioned when, say, oxygenation is 1-3 points off from normal?

 

February 2022 Covid death toll in the USA, 58,948 dead.
This is from World-o-meter

I sure hope it keeps dropping, so far the last four weeks its been dropping.
Both case count and death rate are down. The 7-day moving average for deaths
started dropping around Feb. 1st, but 58k+ is still a lot of people to lose.
