This app keeps showing me lengthy threads filled with puzzled people who can’t figure out why their Covid infections are lasting much longer than expected—like weeks & weeks—but I can’t respond or repost because I’m blocked & accounts are locked. Everyone forgets Covid’s original disease course was 3 weeks to a month, & we all agreed on that. Then the CDC trotted out a 10-day isolation period for a weeks long virus. In Dec. 2021, the CEO of Delta Airlines singlehandedly shortened Covid’s disease course by demanding a 5 day isolation period. We’ve been pretending Covid only lasts a week ever since. It has NEVER lasted a week, but the CDC lied & now we coexist with RECORD disability & death & everyone is always sick. Nothing will change because we live and die for corporate profits. The End.
And some people NEVER stop testing positive.

There were “a lot of holes here that give us a lot of unknowns and a lot of uncertainty,” but workers’ concerns were ignored. Now the workers are disabled & dying at record rates, & everyone is always sick, but nothing ever changes. We don’t even talk about it.
December 2020: “Approximately 10% of patients with Covid-19 experience symptoms beyond 3–4 weeks. Patients call this ‘Long Covid.’”
Beyond 3-4 weeks you say? A year later, we pretended it only lasts 5 days to save corporate profits. bmchealthservres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
