People are so starved for attention that after they've told their Covid story dozens of times to everyone they know and see, they make up new symptoms because it's the most interesting thing they have to talk about. You'll notice a trend of this with people who have nothing else going on in their lives.

Edit: there is literally no such thing as "long Covid." Brain fog comes from being an unhealthy piece of shit.

Of course it doesn't. It's just rebranded cold & flu. But people get pneumonia and certain people get really bad colds and flus if they're old or fat or immunocompromised. And they point to these cases and say "see? This person got it and ended up in hospital!" It's like, well yeah, that happened all the time before all this bullshit too. If you're generally unhealthy, you're gonna get worse symptoms when you do get sick. But there is no new super deadly virus.

There is no super deadly virus. But it is a different virus than the flu and cold viruses. The virus creates a gene expression in infected cells that is distinguishable from the gene expression caused by all other viruses that send proteins into the nucleus to dampen the self defence. Understanding the virus is important because knowing how to restore the self defence of your cells is important.

The real numbers regarding survival rates and such are really all I care about. If I have about the same chances of dying from this "new virus" as I do from influenza or something similar then I have to do about as much in response to it as I did before, which is basically nothing. Other than living healthy, getting the proper vitamins and such, and exercising regularly. All of which I did as a matter of routine before all this nonsense began. How the virus, if it even exists, works doesn't matter to me, personally.

It's a variant of the common cold virus.

Not wrong, because hundreds of different virus types, strains, and variants count as common cold virus - they all cause similar symptoms. But throwing different viruses into one box doesn't help with finding a cure. For example, the vitamin D blood level is essential for the outcome of a SARS infection, while many other common cold viruses are unimpressed by vitamin D.
