It's cool, I didn't really love the life changing abilities to think straight, remember things, control my impulses, and understand the passage of time for the first time in my adult life, or anything. My resting heart rate went up measurably during my "mild" COVID infection and then a few times during the fun delayed onset symptoms period. In every case it went back to almost normal although still a few bpm higher, but it can take a little time. Maybe it will also improve for you?

Man, it’s one thing to know in the abstract that a ton of damage is going to be done by “mild” cases before society acknowledges how bad things are, if it ever does. But seeing it start to play out in reality is something else entirely. Hospitals not requiring staff to mask, airlines probably dropping mandates soon, ensuring that all our kids in school and their families get it, etc. And always the same loving gaslighting from the same ghouls. I don’t even know what kind of reckoning there can be if millions and millions of people are too wrecked from long covid to do anything. Pingui posted:Emphasized the key point of this juxtaposition.

U.S. to End Covid-19 Reimbursement Program --WSJ Dow Jones Institutional News - Powered by Dow Jones US | March 23, 2022 06:32am Stephanie Armour WASHINGTON -- Some people without health insurance will begin getting bills for Covid-19 treatments and testing after the Biden administration on Tuesday starts winding down a federal program that reimburses providers for virus-related care for the uninsured and that officials say is running out of funds. The White House says it will end the reimbursement program, which started under the Trump administration and also pays hospitals and other healthcare providers for things such as administering Covid-19 vaccines to uninsured people, by the end of April because it is running out of money. The administration and hospitals are urging lawmakers to approve more funding for the program. The White House earlier this month pushed for $22.5 billion in Covid-19 funding to pay for a range of programs, including the provider-relief funds and replenishing supplies of vaccines and antibody drugs. Congressional Republicans have called to repurpose Covid-19 money that states haven't yet spent, but a number of House Democrats have balked at using money promised to states. The provider relief fund, which was created to help hospitals and community health centers seeing decreased revenue or increased expenses because of the pandemic, was launched with more than $100 billion in 2020, and later legislation added about $78 billion. All of the money in the provider relief fund has been allocated, though it has not all been paid out, according to an official with the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration. About 50,000 hospitals, doctors and other providers have submitted claims requesting funding from the uninsured program since April 2020, the federal official said. The program bars providers who receive the funding from billing the uninsured for the difference between the money they get and the costs of treatment, a practice known as balance billing. in total, about $20 billion from the relief fund has helped cover providers' costs for administering vaccines, testing and treatment for people without health coverage. The administration said it will stop accepting claims for treatment and testing for uninsured people Tuesday, and the deadline for claims for administering vaccines is in two weeks. After that, the medical bills for uninsured Covid-19 patients will depend on each hospital's financial-aid policy and their prices, both of which can vary widely from one hospital to another.

We're in a weird Wile E. Coyote running in the air period where people think things are normal. This approach will likely be validated for quite some time, as a number of people will return to normal life without any immediate consequences. Lots of people likely have legitimate antibody protection against symptomatic infections, and of those with symptomatic infection only a fraction get PASC, and of those only a smaller fraction get impacted "significantly". But the large majority of people will get away with it unharmed and see it as confirmation that they made the right decision. Keep saying this but TBH I really do hope they're right and that PASC is somehow not as bad as the research suggests. Otherwise the long-term disease burden that is being baked into the public right now for bad reasons is staggering.

Been thinking about this video a lot lately. It was released right before the 2004 election, so while its focus is the media’s role in drumming up support for the Iraq war and other “patriotic” nightmares, the fact that you could make a few updates and it would look good as new is extremely distressing. https://youtu.be/giaZnIr-faM

Multipart article I’m copying from behind a paywall Financial aid is offered by most hospitals and is usually granted based on patient income, but hospitals largely choose their own cutoffs for eligibility. Some states set requirements. Prices for the same services are also sharply different across hospitals, with the uninsured often facing the highest prices. The White House said it notified Congress in February that the fund that reimburses doctors and other medical providers for caring for uninsured individuals would stop taking new claims in March. Hospitals that have relied on the funding say they are still feeling the financial squeeze of the pandemic and that more funding is needed for the uninsured program. "We support the administration's request for additional funding to ensure that the healthcare system has the resources it needs to continue to care for their patients, especially as we continue to manage Covid-19 in communities across the nation." the American Hospital Association, a trade group for the industry, said. States in the last week reported thousands more Covid-19 deaths, according to data compiled by John Hopkins University. An agreement between congressional Republicans and Democrats to repurpose unspent state Covid- 19 funds as part of a smaller, $15.6 billion package was recently pulled from an omnibus spending bill after some Democrats balked at using the money originally intended for states. Senior Senate Republicans say the administration hasn't provided enough clarity on where funding that has already been allocated is going. "Unless it's paid for and it's something that 10 Republicans will vote for, it's hard to see how it passes the Senate," Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R., SD.) said recently. Senior administration officials said Monday that they have briefed members of Congress on the status of Covid-19 relief funding since October and held more than three dozen meetings with lawmakers from both parties since January about the need for additional money. They said that $300 billion of the 2021 American Rescue Plan's $1.9 trillion remains unspent but that $240 billion of it has been promised to cities and states that have built it into their budgets and that the remaining $60 billion is intended for emergency use. Among health systems that benefited most from the aid are safety-net hospitals in states that didn't expand Medicaid, such as Harris Health System in Houston, which received $196 million in relief funds for treatment of uninsured Covid-19 patients, according to government data published as of March 3. The cuts could prompt Harris Health to curb other services "to absorb the cost for what is a federal responsibility." Esmaeil Porsa, the system's chief executive, said. An estimated 9.6% of the population, or 31.1 million people, lacked health insurance in the first six months of 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Biden administration has said that while Covid-19 cases have sharply declined, funding is needed to prepare for future variants and continue with vaccination campaigns and other programs to protect the public.

There are media stories about it, but it's being intentionally downplayed and they're shoved in with endless coverage about COVID being over for real this time. It's pretty easy to be the person who knows another wave is coming but thinks it's no big deal. After all, Omicron was fine, right? Nothing at all bad happened during the Omicron wave, so this will be the same. COVID is over.

I, too, wish this, but the only counters are “how many people do you know with long COVID?” and “gee it sure would be inconvenient if this were true”. Every time there’s a number, it’s just awful.

The White House says the lack of new congressional funding means it won't be able to purchase a second round of boosters for the general public, should federal regulators authorize another dose of the vaccine. Pfizer Inc. and partner BioNTech SE have asked the Food and Drug Administration to approve a fourth dose -- or second booster shot - for people 65 years and older, while Moderna Inc. has sought approval for an additional booster for all U.S. adults. Administration officials say they also expect the funding issue to impact the supply of monoclonal antibodies. They are also closely monitoring a new variant, BA.2, that has triggered an increase in cases overseas. "Our concern right now is that we are going to run out of money to provide the types of vaccines, boosters, treatments to the immunocompromised and others free of charge that will help continue to battle" the pandemic, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. Corrections & Amplifications: States in the last week reported more than 7,500 Covid-19 deaths, according to data compiled by John Hopkins University. An earlier version of this article included a statement from the American Hospital Association that misstated the number of deaths as nearlv 2.000.
