I wonder what the rate of long term neurological impact is going to be, given long covid in adults can be pretty brutal even if they’re not hospitalised

One death is one death too many but this is what really scares me.

We could end up with half the population having some kind of long term neurological damage

Could it aslo just be downplaying by the press though

Idk why people think the press always downplays things but it is kind of the opposite, the press really really likes doing the opposite of downplaying because it causes more panic reads.

Exactly, unironically it’s that strategy of tension type shit. You get people all scared and worried about their safety, then the ghouls step in an offer a sense of security.

that is anecdotal and based on kids who come into the hospital. i bet there are WAY more infected kids than that. that doctor is only seeing the ones who are the sickest. 10% of the ones who come into the hospital need to be hospitalized makes sense, because that’s why they are there. i don’t think it’s a good indicator of whether the new variant is any more deadly than the previous strains.
