Over the next 6 months, the penny will drop that Covid in the US never really ended, we just stopped treating it as a public health emergency, unlike the rest of the world. As a result, our long covid numbers will continue to climb. Workers will become increasingly hard to find as the disabled population of the US climbs at a staggering rate.

Evidence: Look at the trends for the rest of the world, vs the US where we no longer fund testing, nor encourage it, nor reporting of Covid cases.
