The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs. If you haven’t come across him, Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die.
long covid is a whole lot of things. Asthma, diabetes, depression… the identifiable things that sonofabitch virus can do to the human body appear to be legion.
I think it’s just that we never really addressed the fact that you don’t fully bounce back from illness. But then suddenly, everyone got this serious illness, and at the same time we realized “I just don’t feel like I did before, even now that I’ve recovered”
That’s just my personal feeling, it’s not based on much except our attitudes about illness

Tbqh I think a lot of the “long covid” symptoms are just things people weren’t treating before.

Didn’t deny long covid was a thing, but I’m glad you agree it isn’t the primary reason why the morbidly obese are developing diabetes.

Something tells me I can guess what you think gave you diabetes.
holy shit fuck off
