Current studies show 10% to 30% of people who got COVID develop long COVID, whose symptoms can be debilitating. The fact most governments are actively encouraging or generally not giving a fuck about ‘not at risk’ people getting infected is very worrying. The fact those same governments are now working to promote the idea long COVID is psychosomatic or lazy people lying their asses off is a lot more worrying.

Let people stay home. Let children stay home. Step up your fucking game when it comes to welfare, healthcare, decent housing, internet access. And stop fucking lying.
