  • Absolutely. I heard it non-stop from my dad and my in laws. Listening to them act like it’s nothing even after it gave me partial vision loss drove me crazy.

    Not only does my dad think it’s ’like the flu’, he keeps saying it IS ‘just the flu’. He thinks it’s the same virus and people are conspiring to control us by giving the flu a new name and then freaking out over it.

    It sure does. Mines a bit unique afaik though.

    I was diagnosed with a swollen optic nerve a few weeks after getting Covid when I realized my vision was going dark in one of my eyes.

    They did an mri to rule out any other causes and concluded it was from Covid.

    Over then next few months the swelling of the nerve went away but the bottom 1/4 of my vision in that eye is still dark due to the nerve being damaged from it.

    Theres been a number of other documented cases of this happening from Covid.
