'Long Covid': Why are some people not recovering?
For most people, Covid-19 is a brief and mild disease but some are left struggling with symptoms including lasting fatigue, persistent pain and breathlessness for months.

Fuck no will your disability insurance cover this as that would cut into our precious profit margins, and this clearly would be an exclusion in our impossible to read declarations page and fine print. We can't have you getting all better and what not, so we need you perpetually sick so that we can capitalize off your misfortune.
