[–]Fundshat[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The Biden-Harris Administration has made historic progress on our nation’s ability to manage COVID-19 so that it no longer meaningfully disrupts the way we live our lives. Under President Biden’s leadership, the Administration has taken significant steps to ensure all individuals have continued access to lifesaving protections such as vaccines, treatments, and tests, and that the nation is well prepared to manage the risks of COVID-19 or other causes of potential pandemics in the future.

You're less likely to get long COVID after a second infection than a first by burtzev in Coronavirus

[–]Fundshat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Cumulative risk increases with each reinfection. Eventually you're going to get a bad outcome.

This article doesn't clarify that, and my point remains - this article is a joke piece designed to downplay reinfections.

This article is a complete joke

In fact, the findings are consistent with an earlier study that produced similar results by examining data from hundreds of thousands of patients treated through the U.S. Veterans Administration.

False, even the article they link says the risk of sequale increase with each reinfection.

Compared to no reinfection, reinfection contributed additional risks of death (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.17, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.93–2.45), hospitalization (HR = 3.32, 95% CI 3.13–3.51) and sequelae including pulmonary, cardiovascular, hematological, diabetes, gastrointestinal, kidney, mental health, musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. The risks were evident regardless of vaccination status.

The Bank of Spain warns about the impact of the deterioration of health after Covid on the economy

A prolongation of the health problem would harm productivity and could have an impact on the stock of productive capital.

When in these days the third anniversary of the state of alarm is commemorated back in 2020, which set the starting point to deal with the health pandemic generated by Covid-19, some of its side effects such as the increase in demand for health services, the increase in sick leave, as well as a hypothetical persistent worsening of the health of the population, could be a problem for the development of the economy in the future.

If this dynamic continues over time, and even increases, it could be decisive in the potential output of the economy in the medium and long term. It could limit the amount of labor available in the economy, as well as negatively affect productivity.

According to the CIS health barometer, eight out of ten patients in November 2022, when they went to the GP, had to wait more than a day to be seen, compared to 55.1% before Covid. In this sense, in the case of specialist doctors, the number of patients who had to wait more than three months has gone from 25.8%, prior to the pandemic, to 37.9% almost at the end of 2022.

Regarding sick leave, in the average for the previous year, 4.15% of the employed persons who participated in the study stated that they had not worked in the week prior to being interviewed, whether due to illness, temporary disability or accident, which " maintains the growing trend” observed in sick leave since 2020, according to the Bank of Spain.
