Going long: Viruses linger with lasting impact
Herpes, HIV, Epstein-Barr and other viruses hang around, causing potential long-term health woes. Should ‘long COVID’ surprise us?
Millions of Americans infected by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, are now dealing with its post-acute sequelae, or PASC, mostly known as long COVID, the latest long-term condition to stem from a virus.

Going long: Viruses linger with lasting impact

We know they’re common and annoying, and in the immunocompromised or the unlucky, sometimes deadly. But three years after COVID-19 rocked the world, are we now learning viruses are more of a threat than we imagined? Do they all “go long”?

@CaramelizedShallots Thanks for sharing this very well written article https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2023/04/viruses-linger-with-lasting-impact-hpv-hsv-hiv-long-covid.html explaining how certain viruses can cause long-term health issues such as auto-immunity, cancers, multiple sclerosis, etc. If only this would go mainstream. Human nature is so short-sighted and conceptually cannot understand that risk taking now during a pandemic when mitigations are down can have long term complications years from now. Please share to all you know.
