    The obsession with #COVID19 fatalities and ignoring of morbidities that I see in the press reminds me of the way antivaxxers obsess over the lower mortality of some vaccine-preventable diseases and ignore the significant (and more common) morbidities and suffering.https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1326649914625941506 …

        This is the most worrisome part. I keep trying to explain that falling in the middle (between full recovery and death) can be completely life altering. We are seeing a lot of autonomic dysfunction and perm heart and lung damage. The “middle outcomes” need to be front and center

        I have a patient who lost the sense of smell with COVID, her ID doc suspects it’s forever since it has been 8 months.

        >1/3 of Americans are overweight and ot have comorbities. Is this an acceptable death sentence? Sorry. You were overweight. You die. Too old. You die. Psoriasis. You die. No known comorbities. COVID don't care, you die. We have ~300K deaths.

        I signed up for the Long Covid facebook group during my second Covid scare. The things I'm reading there are terrifying. "Lost sense of smell months ago. Everything smells like rotten onions and garbage can" "3 months post infection. Out of breath after simply taking a shower"

        I'm not sure I agree. I think the biggest difference is that death rate is fairly quickly calculable and easy to discern - long term chronic disease is hard to assess and may not be well understood for some time yet

        Exactly why antivaxxers do it with other VPDs and now with #COVID19. They’re just using their old tactics with a new disease.

        There's going to be a whole bunch of newly disabled people. Who are going to learn how incredibly hard it is to get Disability and how long the process actually takes and how little a person gets on Disability. In a Disability system that is already understaffed & overwhelmed

        Tried getting through the Fox bubble of some people down here in TX still acting like this is all being blown out of proportion. I brought this up, citing examples of people I know, and that gave them a second’s pause but that was about it.
