Birdie, PhD, MA 🦚 @healthywv.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Most people would have had only one infection by this point and we were a highly vaccinated inst. Results from 2022 showed that about 20% of employees reported having long COVID (LC), consistent with CDC estimates. 100
Birdie, PhD, MA 🦚 @healthywv.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Employees who reported LC also reported more days of poor mental health (using CDC Healthy Days items). Employees who reported having had a COVID infection reported more days of poor physical health than did those who had not been infected yet. 100
Birdie, PhD, MA 🦚 @healthywv.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Again, this was in 2022, and I was not allowed to complete any follow up surveys including questions about COVID after this. Since then, the chair of the EWC has consistently brought up rising health care costs at pretty much every monthly meeting. 100
