Almost one in four Americans may be suffering from long COVID, a rate more than three times higher than the most common number cited by federal officials, a team led by Boston area researchers suggests in a new scientific paper.

A new study from researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests racial disparities and the difficulty in diagnosing the condition may be leading to a massive undercount.

      I still haven’t gotten COVID but the willpower thing is the same for me. I think it’s due to a complete loss of hope for humanity after the mass selfishness of people who wouldn’t isolate, mask, vaccinate, or vote with any semblance of reason, empathy, or compassion.

      I think I’m depressed but can’t be sure since the last time I had depression was 20 years ago and it didn’t feel like this at all. Maybe it’s just languishing.
