I generally support the right for people to choose euthanasia under appropriate circumstances, but this is a really disappointing and frankly entitled comment.
Countless millions of people are born with or acquire from disease or injury chronic illnesses and conditions that can significantly impact their quality of life. Some of these are treatable but many in parts of the world these treatments are not accessible.
Most of those people don't off themselves. They move forward in life, as difficult as it might be. And some of them not only find ways to survive life, many make incredibly meaningful contributions to their families, communities and the world at large.
Nothing good comes out of being pessimistic (by definition), sometimes I get into a state where I confuse my pessimism with realism, but remember: everywhere you look you see what you are looking for.
In this way it is similar to ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that can also be caused by other viruses, although in the case of covid the damage is not limited to causing fatigue and can cause issues with a host of other parts of the body including the lungs, heart, nervous system and immune system.
