Yesterday I heard that in my country of the Netherlands, 4 people received euthanasia last year due to long covid. Euthanasia is doctor assisted suicide, and to receive it you must prove “unbearable suffering” with no hope of improvement. They weren’t super old either, the youngest was 51.
It can attack every system within our bodies, and even hurt our brains if we’re unlucky. We failed to contain and stop the spread. Now it’s mutated and will be with our species for the foreseeable future. Videos of those with really bad long covid are so sad. Physics Girl had her whole YouTube channel flipped and talked about it openly. Fascinatingly horrifying.
Young people too are increasingly requesting assisted suicide. I read an article about how in 2025, of the 8 people that made a request through the largest assisted suicide association (DGHS) due to ME/CFS, 5 were between 24 and 29 years old. There are sadly no official numbers for total assisted suicides due to ME/CFS (or any other reason) available.
Looking at a statistic I found, in 2024 the same association helped just 4 people in the same age range request assisted suicide:

Yeah, that why it was first misdiagnosed as a respiratory illness and only months later it was discovered it’s a BLOOD illness.
We should call it the ‘blood flu’ … might make people realize it’s not a simple cold.
“It only kills old or unhealthy people. What’s the big deal? Why should I have to sacrifice for them?”
Bunch of ghouls won’t get it unless they’re impacted directly. Even then, they’d probably try to pivot.
