They only use people with the best traction on their skin.

If you live in a rural area they're better at delivering if it's real muddy out.

This is the type of thing where the vast majority will recover within 6-12 months and often a small percent will have ongoing chronic symptoms. But we're learning a lot about post virus chronic symptoms which also seem to happen with other virus but it was harder to tell since it was a baseline normal.

For 12 weeks, researchers followed nearly 2,200 adults who had been diagnosed with lab-confirmed COVID, and nearly 1,000 adults who had been diagnosed with lab-confirmed flu. Of those who experienced Omicron, a fifth (21%) had ongoing symptoms at 12 weeks, and 4% reported symptoms that had a moderate or severe impact on daily living.

When it came to those who had experienced the flu, the numbers were almost identical, with 23% reporting ongoing symptoms at 12 weeks, and 4% reporting moderate or severe impacts on daily living.

But there’s a reason why long COVID is having an outsized impact on the healthcare system, researchers from Queensland Health said in a news release: the sheer volume of COVID infections.

There have been more than 11 million lab-confirmed COVID infections over Australia in the last three years, according to the World Health Organization—a number that is likely a massive undercount.

By comparison, Australia only recorded only a little more than 225,000 lab-confirmed cases of flu last year.

“In our highly vaccinated population, the public health impact of long COVID does not appear to result from any unique property of SARS-CoV-2,” Dr. John Gerrard, Queensland’s chief health officer, said in the release. “Rather, the impact results from the sheer number of people infected over a short period of time.”

Another one wouldn't have that same effect. There wouldn't be a general lockdown and it would be mostly business as usual except in some areas.

Those are specifically bad for masks because the loose material is one of the worst for breathing filtration. A few restaurants used them but they were discouraged in a lot of official guidance later on.

The kingdoms have changed several times, they're basically trying to use a more accurate system based on DNA using genotyping to decide which groups are more closely related and be less reliant on behavior and appearance.

Ok. I guess your perspective is correct and there is just one military that is all the same.

You know it's a percentage right?

I don't think they're a troll, what you stated is a common misconception. And you were wrong initially. Over or underinflating casualty counts is a big deal and it's best to be accurate. It's a notoriously difficult thing to measure.

What events? It's clear that being a nuclear state is great for preventing invasion. If you have a submarine fleet with nukes you won't be invaded.

It's about having enough that your enemy can't target them and blow them up in a surprise attack.
