At this stage I'd imagine 99% of people are ok being in a crowd. Not as if Covid is going anywhere so there's no point hiding away. We're all going to get it at different times of our life. I certainly wouldn't say they are uninformed. They just realise life is for living!

No one is denying that long covid exists. It just gets maximised greatly throughout the media and with certain individuals you’ll find on social media. All illnesses can have side effects. I know more people with ongoing problems from strokes and heart attacks than i do from long covid.

I know of masses of people who have had covid over the last couple years including ederly people. I get to know of them through my work. None of them have post lung problems. I know one woman who claims to suffer pains in her chest 6 months on but she smokes 60 cigarettes a day.

I’m not saying long covid doesn’t exist but it’s not the big bad wolf some like to make it is just to try and prove some point. Other illnesses would be a higher concern to me than covid. A cousin of mine dropped dead at 56 last week.

Stressing about getting long covid is something I won’t be doing. It won’t stop me carrying on with my life.

Or maybe the poster is trying to say that they don’t know anyone who has long covid and thinks it is blown out of proportion on the forums? There is a certain predictable cohort on these forums and elsewhere who do seem to highlight long covid etc more than others.

That was clearly not what was implied and your response is likewise what can be expected from a predictable cohort who sees no evil, hears no evil except that they want to see.

Only bed watters from March are the only people that suffer from it or know people who suffer from it?

Clear implication it's all in their perception.

Seemed to be the usual neurotic whinging and stressing about 'faux' hysteria.

Which I refuted with evidence.

You're just defending nonsense with more nonsense.

No you said the poster said it doesn’t exist. He said it does exist amongst the ‘bed wetters’. I prefer to call them neurotic. The poster is correct it does seem to be the nervous that mostly post about long covid on here and other platforms. The likes of Hegarty, Eric Ding etc

There’s no argument really. Maybe the poster is telling the truth? Maybe the poster only knows people with long covid that are mainly neurotic? It’s quite possible. They will usually be more vocal about it. You want to dismiss it because it doesn’t suit your narrative i get that. As for me i do know long covid exists i’m not denying that but if you go by what you read on the internet sure you’d never leave your basement.

What weak case? I know masses of people who had covid and fully recovered old and young in the Omicron era. If you think i’m lying just say so.

I'm saying that covid is still a concern when stuff like this is still happening.

We don't yet know if there any long term affects from contracting Covid. We won't know that for maybe another five years.

Why do you say we are about five years away from knowing the long term effects of Covid? Given that we've known about this virus for 2.5 years (and counting), that seems pretty long term to me.
