SUMMARY:
One in six North Carolinians has experienced Long COVID,
according to the Centers for Disease Control. People with Long
COVID have symptoms for four weeks or more, and they can last
for months or years. Even people who did not have severe
symptoms at first can develop Long COVID.

Masked Man's Side-Note:
For what it is worth, I live in NC...This is my state so I feel
obliged to comment with my personal experience and viewpoints.
This is what happens when people don't wear masks! It's not easy
for the Masked Man to be around these people. They are hard for
me to be around. One in six North Carolinians have reported
having long covid! That's no way to live! Again one is six
people is a huge number, Not too mention if covid is
underreported then it stands to reason that Long covid is also
likely underreported. With one in six people in North Carolina
reporting long covid I absolutely can't be wrong in suggesting
mask usage.
It is easy to see that all sorts of working people and
professional people here in NC that go maskless like healthcare
people and emergency workers and veterinarians are personally
hard for me to be around. One in six is a huge number of people
with long covid and these cases pile up and overlap one another
as more long covid cases keep coming. In other words, that
number of old cases survive and continue as new cases emerge
that one in six member is bound to grow higher as time goes on,
making it quite feasible that it will become 2 or even 3 in six
people someday. This is a problem of a chronic nature that cuts
down on the productivity of human exchange in the community and
this is like dealing with a huge number of people who are at
least partially impaired from this disease.
I can't tell you how many people I personally see from a
distance through my window such as my mailman, my neighbors who
just seem angry and at wit's end all the time and I can't help
but speculate if more than one in six of these people I see in
NC through my window are suffering from long covid because of
their behavior. I am observing adults with behavior problems and
many who appear to be run down or worn out and sickly looking on
my street from a distance.
This is serious trouble in NC. This is why I don't leave my
house. I do everything from home as much as possible and this is
why I mask. I look forward to seeing more people in masks one
day so they are safer, healthier, and happier together.
