Reply to comment by femaiden in NYC Issues Plea as ‘Most Transmissible Form of COVID-19 We Know of to Date' Spreads by brooklynlad

So if people are committing suicide because they have long term symptoms which 10% do, it doesn't matter? That sounds like what you're saying. Thinking like this is why this shit will never end.

I feel like that was more with the stronger covids. My point is that I'm not so worried because people aren't getting as sick like they were back in the day. I'm willing to bet that with the weaker strains,less people are getting long covid.

This isnt a weaker strain though and that's kind of the problem. We have more defenses due to vaccination but vaccination works to prevent death, not long covid. Also this strain is more transmissible but no more detrimental than the previous ones, which doesnt mean less. Saying you're willing to bet is basically saying why bother to do preventive methods on a guess that it's not with no evidence to back it up.
