I always found it interesting how most people seemed to only focus on survivability. Like, COVID was almost always spoken about as if there were only two outcomes: die or not die. Conversations about the disease, virus, or vaccines often completely ignored the lasting damage that the disease can leave survivors with.
My partner has long COVID; from that we see a community of those getting diagnosed is increasing as well.

The mental and physical degradation is just brushed aside.
Its like those people who focus only on GDP per capita …
But then never focus on Reported Quality Of Life.
Who cares if the GDP Per Capita is like 1 million per a person if over half of the peoppe occupying a region are billionaires?
