@luckytran Ooops.

I was at a mass gathering this weekend in which almost no one was masked.

I'm guessing vax status was solid, but still. I spent two evenings wondering if we were about to become a superspreader event.

Which, given that it was a rather fancy journalism crowd, would make/would have made for some very interesting reading.

May yet--we're not in the infection incubation clear yet.

@tomlevenson @luckytran The vaccine makes dying from Covid less likely, but it doesn’t stop Long Covid

AIUI, the vaccine reduces all the risks, but only reduces them? By something like a third, which is a lot, but also clearly not enough to rely on it on its own?
