4. Morbidity rates for COVID are very high, even in regions with good health care. In the UK 3,404:1M, in the USA 3,618:1M.
5. At least 10-30% of survivors develop symptoms which last more than 3 months after recovery; over 50% of those who required hospitalization. In studies of victims after 4 weeks approximately ⅓ have findings of pulmonary fibrosis.

Due to COVID, wearing a #mask is far more important to avoiding becoming disabled than putting on your seat belt.

And you do that.

No new info, but I'm waiting for the NASAL #vaccine, which should actually cut down on transmission of #COVID, rather than mostly protecting from "more serious" illness.

I've gotten all vax and boosters from the beginning, #mask in social situations with strangers or sick people, and I've confirmed I've had the disease one time (last summer). I recovered after four days of mostly sleeping, but only recently discovered that I can't smell certain spices like coriander. 🙁

So... I consider myself lucky but in my small way I have joined the ranks of #LongCOVID sufferers.
