I don't know what the difference between "long Covid" and bog standard PVFS (with a side of some lung damage that takes a few months to recover for some) is... Post-viral fatigue isn't a new condition and has always been a risk after having a nasty bug.
I've mentioned before that I had a bug way back in I think 2017 that wasn't even that bad, but I had horrendous post-viral symptoms that went on for months. And a Uni friend of mine took nearly 12 months to fully recover from the glandular fever he caught on Freshers Week. I used to like to knock his door in the early morning because for the first few hours every day his face was puffed up like a beach ball and I found it really funny, so it was a nice way to start the day. He looked like a chubby hamster :joker:... Ahh good times. |

It could go back to another long covid, again. It appears they can no longer, smell and have trouble eating some foods. |

I don't think there is a simple answer to long covid. The original covid variant was a lower lung infection that also attacked other major organs. The long term effects after catching that could be horrendous. The omicron variant is an upper respiratory disease which is a completely different kettle of fish with long term effects likely to be much less severe.
The upshot is that this term, long covid, really cant be defined until we have had years of a more stable virus |

I can listen to him when he talks stats - his background is as a researcher - but again on his righteous fury I have to advise caution for those confused by his title. He is NOT a medical doctor of any kind, nor does he have ANY expertise in virology or immunology. He's not all the way down the rabbit hole but he certainly pops his head in for a peek at increasing intervals. |
This morning on the radio I heard that in the last 6 weeks a further 170,000 have died from Covid … presumably worldwide as it didn’t say .. they did add that Covid isn’t expected to be much of a threat after this year ..

You'd have to rely on secondary causes of death being accurately reported/recorded which TBH they just aren't usually. There are lots of questions when a young/fit/healthy person dies, but when a 85+ year old dies of any of the above that's just a normal "old age death". |

She is said to be suffering cold symptoms and has cancelled her public engagements for the week. The Queen Consort, aged 75, had already pulled out of a planned visit to the West Midlands on Tuesday. She has previously had Covid and is understood to be fully vaccinated and is said to be resting and in "good spirits". Royal sources say there are no changes planned for the King's engagements this week. Buckingham Palace had initially said that the Queen Consort was cancelling a trip because of a "seasonal illness", but she has subsequently tested positive for Covid. |
