COVID-19 v. Flu: A ‘much more serious threat,’ new study into long-term risks concludes
‘We trivialize COVID infections at our peril,’ says the author of the study.
Excellent & accurate reporting from Fortune:
"[W]ith each successive COVID-19 infection, we roll the dice. One can be young, healthy, and vaccinated, having experienced only mild symptoms during initial infections–then, almost inexplicably, develop long COVID"

Control of #SARSCoV2 exposure in workplace should be similar to that for other airborne pathogens, e.g., measles, & flu. Risk of contracting a COVID19 variant at work persists, & with each re-infection, likelihood of damage to health. @ProfEmer @Daltmann10

I take my niece to lunch every week at a grocery-cafe… I have never seen so many masks, since 2021. Pink KN95s, headstrap duckbills, surgicals — you name it. I’m usually the only one in a respirator. It was wild!

Pre-existing SARS-2-specific T cells are predicted to cross-recognize BA.2.86
Those T cell that get reactivated upon vaccination or reinfection are important, the parts of SARS-COV-2 they recognise have changed little, hence they protect you well.

Opinion: This is a pandemic of attrition
The COVID-is-mild experiment, despite the wishing and the hoping, has been a tragic failure.
Brilliant op-ed from an ER physician in Calgary:
"It’s time for our society to admit that we’ve made a mistake and change course. The COVID-is-mild experiment, despite the wishing and the hoping, has been a tragic failure."
