I forgot where but someone posted some data basically linking "long covid" to mental illness.

I'm sure that is true in some cases. In my friend's case, I think it was more a matter of the medical community saying..."you got Covid, then everything slowly went to hell."

He was in his early 50s, in decent shape, no bad habits. He got Covid early on, got over it without much trouble. and then strange problems started. He got the shots after he got over Covid. He had nausea, vertigo, and lost a ton of weight and strength. He told me at one point he woke up and had to go pee. He didn't want to wake his wife, so he rolled off the bed and crawled to the bathroom, pulled himself onto the seat, did his business, then crawled back. Took him two hours.

After that, his organs started shutting down, and then he died. Probably took about 18 months from the time he first got Covid.

He saw a slew of doctors. None of them could figure out how to fix him. In his case, "long Covid" probably meant, "we got no idea..."
