   I'm certainly not the first to express this, but I'm reminded of it again this morning:

   You are not alone.

   As you scroll around the internet, you may find people going about daily life and enjoying hobbies while it seems like the world around you is burning. That doesn't mean those people aren't just as hair-on-fire-concerned as you. They may even be doing something about it. But finding joy is also a form of resistance.

   You're not crazy.

   Housing costs hit new record of $2,775 per month.

   That's almost double since the pandemic -- and the inflation.

   Housing costs are now nearly half of median family income -- for housing alone.

   As a result, it now takes $110,871 in annual income just to qualify for the median home -- up over $30,000 since the pandemic began.

   The young are being locked out of the middle class, and there's no relief in sight.

   See this is what I'm talking about. An actual review of the literature would show the prevelance of post-covid syndroms is not yet known, the studies we do have range from <10% to 30%/35% at the absolute highest end. Yet you are 1) quoting it as if its well established, it is not 2) picking from the highest end of the spectrum (fear mongering).

   Couple this with the fact that there is a great deal of fear, and an impossiblity to test for this in a double-blind fashion you get a recipe for disaster one would expect highly inflated numbers due to the placebo effect alone.

   As a COVID Research scientist myself, and you as a doctor, we need to hold ourselves to higher standards when we state things as fact. You cant just cherry pick a study that gives the number you want, we have to be mindful of the consensus and the body of literature and leave our personal biases out of it.
