Yes, IMO, they would take covid more seriously if it was more in your face and deadly. As it is, it's very ignorable for a lot of the population, so that's what they choose to do. It's rather unfortunate that it's not taken more seriously.
I would certainly hope so!
I am so sorry Sundog: Covid is evil---
Thank you!
I'm sorry.
I think Covid would be taken more seriously if it hadn't become such a political hot potato. JMO
Agreed. And how something like a disease/pandemic even became political in the first place is mindboggling to me. I was shocked and surprised when I realized it had been.
Great.... sounds like they are sending out more expired tests. The last batch I received had expired dates so I checked the site to see what extended expiration date was for them. I was a tad shocked, and ticked off, that even the extended date was expired! I was like... Seriously?!?!?
In my travels on various sites I go to yahoo quite bit: OMG the ignorance, misinformation and disinformation about Covid and the vaccine are really frightening and shocking-- You cannot believe what people actually believe: for example, with Covid ticking up (for real), people comment like: "just in time for the election"- with respect to the vaccine people's stories about how the Vaccine has killed more people than Covid. SMHAgreed. And how something like a disease/pandemic even became political in the first place is mindboggling to me. I was shocked and surprised when I realized it had been.
62% is sure a high number. How sad.Type 2 diabetes rates in US youth rose 62% after COVID pandemic began, study suggests
Rates of new-onset type 2 diabetes climbed 62%—and type 1 diabetes increased 17%—among US youth after the COVID-19 pandemic began, especially in Black and Hispanic children, according to a study published yesterday in JAMA Network Open.
For the study, Kaiser Permanente researchers tracked rates of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among health system members aged 0 to 19 years in southern California with no history of diabetes from January 2016 to December 2021.
"Youth-onset diabetes is a serious chronic health condition, placing individuals at risk for early complications, comorbidities, and excess mortality, in particular among those who develop type 2 diabetes and those from racial and ethnic minority groups such as non-Hispanic Black individuals," the study authors wrote.
Kids aged 10 to 19 years especially affected...

It seems to have more to do with the lockdowns (IMO), and not from having had Covid, which is what I was thinking the article meant until I got to the very bottom:

Finally. I didn't like that some Drs dismissed it as being in their heads. It's real. Hopefully it's taken more seriously (where it didn't use to be) and that they will soon find some kind of cure to help these individuals.More than three years into the pandemic, the millions of people who have suffered from long Covid finally have scientific proof that their condition is real.A blood test for long Covid is possible, new research suggests
Scientists can now show key differences in the blood of those who recover from Covid — and those who don't.
Scientists have found clear differences in the blood of people with long Covid — a key first step in the development of a test to diagnose the illness.
The findings, published Monday in the journal Nature, also offer clues into what could be causing the elusive condition that has perplexed doctors worldwide and left millions with ongoing fatigue, trouble with memory and other debilitating symptoms.
The research is among the first to prove that "long Covid is, in fact, a biological illness," said David Putrino, principal investigator of the new study and a professor of rehabilitation and human performance at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York...
