I'm pretty sure I predicted in the Covid thread the traumatising effect of messaging meant to traumatise. One way of looking at it is that those who didn't have a psychic defence with which to insulate themselves from the messaging were ravaged by it; even absent Covid thinking seriously about the infection, transmission, the risks of ethics of socialising, the fact that you're more likely to deal Granny her death blow than someone who doesn't love her opens up a perspective on life that is not conducive to blithe and carefree happiness.
This is basically what Luke wants Dissensus to do with Corpsey.

Hang on though, it says nothing about anyone getting "bummed to death."

I think that part can be attributed to luke's creative license.

Repeating myself for probably the millionth time, but the public comms element of the UK covid response looked absolutely fucked from the outside. chaotic. i dunno about the rest of america but there was so much less of that kind of thing in new york. we just closed loads of things for about 18 months.

Biscetti’s like a rat up a Covidial drainpipe @shakahislop , just mention Japanese cotton or Edwin jeans and he’ll bi-locate into non-contrarianism
Mentioning or referencing UK govt dread lurgy messaging = drainpipe when instead we could say oh this shirt islike a crackhead with adhd met a goth militia type who lives alone in the woods in Kentucky quite nice

From the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists have raised concerns about the potential for long-term health problems linked to SARS-CoV-2 and warned repeated infections are likely to increase the risk.
An association between COVID and cardiovascular disease emerged quickly.
And now — almost exactly four years since the first case was discovered in Wuhan — a growing body of scientific research is cautiously linking the inflammation caused by a COVID infection to diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well as autoimmune conditions from bowel disease to rheumatoid arthritis.
..."Any time you see olfactory impairment it tells you that there's going to be neurological impact," he says. "Loss of smell is a cardinal, pre-clinical symptom of Parkinson's disease and it's been implicated in Alzheimer's disease as well."
...The fact that COVID patients reported loss of smell not only during the active phase of the disease, but as a persistent symptom, suggested to Barnham that longer-term health consequences were likely. Loss of smell is associated with loss of brain volume.
...A Danish study, for example, published in 2022, compared just under 1 million participants who took COVID-19 tests and found the 43,375 who tested positive for the virus had a substantially increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (3.5 times), Parkinson's disease (2.7 times) and ischaemic stroke (2.7 times) and up to 4.8 times the risk of bleeding in the brain.
...If COVID is confirmed to trigger diseases including Parkinson's — which can take up to 30 years to manifest symptoms and is now diagnosed at an average age of 61 — then someone who contracts COVID as a child or adolescent may be diagnosed in their 40s, generating a significant disease burden. Parkinson's would cease to be only a disease of the elderly, he says.

'We are the sum of our histories': A COVID infection now could spell trouble in three decades
Genes, environment and lifestyle are some of the risk factors for serious diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. This is why scientists believe COVID-19 infection should be added to the list, writes Catherine Taylor.

Loss of smell hasn't been symptomatic of COVID since early 2021.
Is there absolutely zero chance that this relatively mild flu-like disease in anybody who’s half fit and vitamin D-adequate is not the proximate cause of these sequelae, and some other mysterious factor may be the problem?
