Long Covid Moonshot by Bernie Sanders (Re: Marxist perspectives on Covid)

Hi,
Today I spoke with an old lady, she believed Long-Covid
is transient. Is it transient, like only a temporary illness
that goes away? Possibly not and this awarness is missing.
For too long, millions of Americans suffering from long
COVID have had their symptoms dismissed or ignored –
by the medical community, by the media, and by Congress.
Unacceptable.

Disclaimer: I am speaking only from data, not my own
experience. Cannot go from novid to covid to long-covid
so fast. Also as for now I am not really suffering a "crash":
What is Post Exertional Malaise (PEM)?
When I might suspect PEM is if that person continues to feel
symptoms, especially fatigue and is overall unwell. This may
even include some flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes,
and a sore throat. The word “crash” is commonly used to
describe PEM and patients experience this prolonged, hangover
type of feeling, which is differentiated from a POTS or pain flare.

Hi,
 Employing a Marxist perspective can aid in
illuminating how economic practices and material
conditions influence prevalent ideologies
related to stigma.
 Firstly, capitalism increases the risk of
spreading infectious diseases and stigma.
Capitalism spreads the disease by impoverishing
migrant health and blaming them, where territorial,
political, judicial and economic expulsions
are their means.
 Secondly, capitalism has kidnapped science, which
  can no longer be truly objective or independent.
As criticized by McClure et al. (47), in the context
of COVID-19, epidemiology now focuses the obtention
of viral infections on individual biology and
behavior. However, this ignores the influential
role of the occupational environment in the
transmission of the virus and, to some extent,
absolves industry of responsibility for
worker safety.
 Lessons from the stigma of COVID-19 survivors:

 But why wants a Marxist deny Covid? This
is beyond my recognition. Possibly was a
Marxist with only one brain cell.

The intersting thimg about SIR-Models they
can be used to detect an epidemic:

With the help of the SIR model, we can

Maybe we should look at Covid, and not Long-Covid.
But modelling of Long-Covid would be also intersting.

But hey, when do you have the chance to work

Hi,

"Long Covid" and "Covid 19" trending on Twitter.
They have interresting tips:

Reminder: If you recently had covid, the recommen-
dation is that you not exercise for at least 6-8
weeks--even if your symptoms were mild--to not
put more stress on your body, which could lead
to Long COVID. Conserve your energy as much as you can.
