Another week, another ~80,000 on #LongCovid dashboard. (Metric depends on testing)

Media reports of 30 million.

Extrapolate latest Census survey—self-reported subset of symptoms—estimate to all ages: ~39 million.

Not counted: new risks of morbidity/mortality.

National utilization of pediatric beds continues to rise—now two points higher—as pediatric admissions and ICU utilization both continue steady climb.

RSV, influenza, "Not Covid". Fewer doctors & nurses.

Insomnia two nights in a row. Not good.

Can't keep running on empty. Finally managed a few hours, now awake again. *sigh*

Another week, another ~70,000 added to #LongCovid dashboard. (Metric based on testing.)

Media reports of 30 million.

Extrapolate latest Census survey—self-reported subset of symptoms—to all ages: 47 million.

Not counted: new risks of morbidity and mortality.

#ThisIsOurPolio Chart: Estimated U.S. PASC ...Screencap of American Acade... Reported staffed beds continues decline, as hospitals surveyed figure gains a point.

National utilization holds last week's level, with no marked change in occupancy.

How many necessary procedures are being deferred as steady health worker attrition continues?

Another week, another 110,000 added to the #LongCovid dashboard. Recent studies would double this estimate: put U.S. PASC cases nearer 48M.

Some 1.8–2.2 M too disabled to work—another ~6 million forced to abandon careers.

Where'd all the workers go, Joe? @POTUS

#ThisIsOurPolio Screencap of American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehab @POTUS If you think there's a #LongCovid labor shortage now—just see how bad it is after another year of unmitigated transmission.

Another two years. Three. &c

At some point maybe we can stop past tense magical thinking to consider future we're trundling into?

Have thought much this week on how—from a quoicapitalist perspective—to address this query.

Here I shall endeavor to pour that stream of thoughts into a thread.

This's gonna be some 35 tweets, all told. There's quite a bit of terrain to cover to address the question posed here. OP follows up:

Ah, the confidence of the activist white liberal that "humanity" is the problem, and that there's nothing wrong with citing to "humanity" as an explanation for the state of the world when so many of the vast majority of humans aren't the ones who brought us here. Coming off a phone call w/ roommate's friend who kept insisting that "humanity is insane". Didn't even have the space to check them on the ableism there, they were so committed to it being the fault of "humanity" that the United States is handling both climate and covid so badly.
