For those who think a Swedish "second wave" is only about how many people are hospitalized or dying. This is till happening to me, now almost 7 MONTHS after I first fell ill. Left is from Sept 22, right is right now.
Most of the time is good now, >97 but this is still regular

That& #39;s my blood oxygen levels dipping under 94, the "safe" level. At my worst it went in to the 80s. I bought the pulseoximeter a couple of years ago out of curiosity, prior to Covid I had never seen it drop below 97. I bought a second to confirm it was correct. It is.
ZERO health issues before covid apart from some mild allergies. I was very fit, resting pulse rate in the mid to low 50s, training 5-7 times a week and training others
Sweden is now having thousands of people a week testing postive for covid. How many are going to be #longcovid?

Any "expert" who doesn& #39;t talk about this when being asked their opinions on what is happening excludes themselves as an expert. They are not informed. They don& #39;t know what this virus is about, and what impact it is having on society and individuals.
It& #39;s not just about the deaths. This is not "anxiety". This is real and it affects people with so-called "mild" cases as well as the hospitalised. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-09-29/long-covid-long-term-effects-of-coronavirus-include-damage-to-heart-liver-kidneys-oxford-study-reveals">https://www.itv.com/news/2020...
Many health care workers exposed to the virus have fallen ill and suffering. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/health/norfolk-doctor-calls-for-long-covid-research-1-6861457">https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/heal...
And many, like me, had no underlying illnesses or other conditions. It& #39;s hitting all kinds of people, an affecting them for months on end. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/covid-long-haulers-i-caught-coronavirus-in-march-i-still-havent-fully-recovered/ar-BB19uruX">https://www.msn.com/en-us/new...
Most of us couldn& #39;t even get medical attention, let alone tested. I was told just to stay home. Health services didn& #39;t want people with suspected covid coming in and potentially infecting others. https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-54106272">https://www.bbc.com/news/stor...
Around the world, medical professionals are starting to take this seriously and acknowledge it& #39;s real. But how many calling for "the swedish approach" are considering this? The potential long term health and economic impacts are enormous. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/long-covid-specialists-lay-groundwork-for-diagnosis-and-management">https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/...

It& #39;s illness that for some, they will never recover, with long-term damage to the heart and other organs. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/long-covid-the-evidence-of-lingering-heart-damage/ar-BB19GyZA">https://www.msn.com/en-us/hea...
The symptoms vary, for me it& #39;s regularly bouts with shortness of breath, lots of GI problems, pain and diarrhea sometimes for a week or more. More recently I& #39;ve started getting "kaleidoscope vision" or auras, something associated with migraine, which I& #39;ve never had before.
For others, fever coming and going, brain fog, headaches, pains and rashes.
