This is legit the first thing I’ve had on Mastodon that’s gone viral. So hey, if you’re here, go donate to trans advocacy groups. Trans folks have the longest road to go down when it comes to finding their true selves, as well as experiencing some of the worst prejudice of the LGBTQ community in recent years;they need our love and support. https://www.glaad.org/transgender/resources

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online That, or they have become primary caregivers to people with long COVID, or to dependents who's primary caregiver died from is is incapacitated by COVID. Yep. "If only we knew what giant life / lifestyle altering event had happened in this country to drastically change how people could/would function, gosh-golly!"

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online the sad part of all this is we are screaming into a void of asshole non maskers and idjuts. Here we just have ourselves coming to terms we are the enlightened and those people aren't here to communicate with. Which I appreciate! I do love the Cat and Dog pics, And normalcy of this social delivery system. 😊

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online I remember reading an article from before the vaccines were out (fall 2020-ish?) based on data from insurance companies (for, say, long-term disability insurance claims), and their back-of-the-napkin figure for long Covid sufferers out of the work force (so not counting dead and not counting elderly, most of whom died), was 2 million. I'm surprised it's as small as 3 million here, 2+ years later.

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online yes. Every single industry is understaffed and most of the staff that shows up is not the same caliber. Tons of institutional knowledge has been lost. People are still trying, but simply cannot replace those that are forever gone. Agree competely.

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online we have severely undercounted the number of people who died from covid. I know of at least three people who died from covid who were not counted as a covid death. One was a healthy 20 yo who died from a blood clot and others who died immediately after having "recovered" from covid.

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online @lpsrocks@poboy.social Dead, long covid and got out if they were able. At least that’s what happened here in the UK. Lots of people suffering with long covid and some have retired early. Those who’s deaths have been registered (a legal requirement here) are sadly no longer part of the count.

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online They left out the part where the employers surveyed were not paying a living wage and were unwilling to raise their minimums. But what can you expect from a corporate reporter?

@KN3RDS@mastodon.online Dead, disabled, or they were Boomers who aged out of the workforce. I mean, it's no mystery where the workers went. We have a whole Census Department that has those numbers. You don't have to go all stupid "nobody wants to work anymore" to know what happened to all the dead, disabled, or retired workers.
