We all know what happened with the covid-19 pandemic.

Worldwide, there have been reported 7,099,773 (updated September 11, 2025) confirmed COVID-induced deaths worldwide. As of January 2023, taking into account likely COVID induced deaths via excess deaths, the 95 percent confidence interval suggests the pandemic to have caused between 19.1 and 36 million deaths.

That’s at least as many as live in the New York City metropolitan area (the city, Long Island, southern Connecticut, and much of New Jersey).

Add to that the number who may have been injured by the vaccines.

But largely ignored is another group, almost certainly very large: those who suffered and continue to suffer what is variously called “long COVID-19” or “post-covid syndrome.”

One estimate: six in a hundred who’ve had SARS-CoV-2. Worldwide, the number may be four hundred million. It is the secret pandemic (olr might we say “chastisement”).

The syndrome can be any of a couple hundred symptoms, ranging from a simple lingering “flu” or a couple months to an incapacitating illness that lasts for years. An exorcist friend of ours was recently relating a severe case he knows about, and we have seen it cause severe asthma, seizures, and arrhythmia among those we know.

A study at Yale University found to date twenty million Americans have been diagnosed with long covid. That’s on ly the formal diagnoses. Many others have been affected “under the radar.”

While scientists believe vaccines tend to reduce frequency and severity, noted one of the Yale scientists, Dr. Arjun Venkatesh, “It’s a myth to assume this data reflects issues limited to unvaccinated individuals, retiring adults, or people with pre-existing medical conditions. Our cohort tends to be younger and highly vaccinated, yet the reality is that they continue to have prolonged symptoms after an acute COVID infection, which significantly affects their ability to work.”

It can be anything from fatigue, shortness of breath, coughing, headaches, voluminous mucus production, joint pain, brain fog, and sleeping disorders to serious loss of memory and muscle strength. A good number of folks have been crippled by it—for years now.

This is no “conspiracy theory.”

Approximately fifteen in 100 people still have symptoms at twelve months as per global estimates. There’s evidence that SARS-COV-2 remains in the body after the acute infection. (This evidence comes from biopsies and studies of blood plasma.)

Prayer need. The only solution thus far: exercise, healthy hydration,, and eating. Supplements? Start with magnesium.

At least something to consider if you have a malady that started back around 2020 or so and still lingers.
