Augie RayAnother long 🧵 on #COVID19 status & risks. I was inspired as a result of traveling this week. It's simply astonishing how many people are pretending the risks are the same as they were in 2019. While COVID isn't likely to swamp hospitals as it did in 2020 and 2021, we still face significant health threats that should not be ignored. You don't need to isolate, but there's a wealth of things you can do between the two extremes of locking yourself at home and pretending COVID risks don't exist.
A recent CDC report on COVID as a cause of death noted: “Emerging evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection. Documented serious post-COVID-19 conditions include cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, renal, endocrine, hematological, and gastrointestinal complications, as well as death.”
