Well, right now they are blaming it on "long covid" and boomers retiring. But I certainly question that. Like I said before, I can testify how fucking insidious cardiac rhythm changes are and most people that get this from the vaccines will likely have no idea what is happening to them. I feel sorry for them, I really do.

AS MANY AS 4 MILLION WORKERS ARE LIKELY OUT OF WORK DUE TO LONG COVID Mild symptoms, employer accommodations, or significant financial need can all keep people with long Covid employed. But in many cases, long Covid impacts work. Understanding that impact requires three data points.

This may sound unbelievably high, but it is not inconsistent with the experiences of comparable economies. For example, a Bank of England representative recently stated that labor force participation has dropped by around 1.3% across the entire 16- to 64-year-old population (not just those who are working), and that the majority of that impact is from the rise in long-term sickness—which he suspected was long Covid.

Its gotten so bad here in Canada, that they are bringing in a record amount of immigrants to fill the jobs. Where did everyone go?
