My spreadsheet of studies revealing the long-term impact of #COVID19 infections has reached 2,400. New studies tell us people with COVID have:

- Significantly increase risks of developing HPV-related cancers
- A higher risk of developing at least 11 immune-mediated including lupus and diabetes
- Poorer performance in inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory
- Higher odds of vision difficulties
- Threefold higher risk of incident pulmonary conditions

@augieray I was infected twice. The first time was because everyone but a single family member were taking precautions and that family member got everyone infected. The second was after being vaccinated because I admit I took less precautions. This paints a dire picture. I hope I don't suffer from such effects. I should've taken a booster shot. I shouldn't have forgotten to take one in the winter campaign. I will take it next year.

@SkyLuke I've had COVID once, that I know of. We can't change the past, of course. All we can do is try to minimize risks of reinfection in the future.

As someone who has contracted COVID twice, the first almost fatal, I am interested in everything related to COVID medical research. And yes I deal with quite a few medical issues one can read about ⬇️

@augieray Hate to tell you this but as a long covid victim ... had most of those symptoms prior to getting Covid and it just made all much worse for very much longer .. 2 years

There is some help from taking some straight brandy 2x a day to help burn off covid in the throat or esophagus

AM adding the remains of covid not really leaving the body but just taking longer to rebuild within before being able to extrude within a couple of days again so far for the last 6 months

Aged well persons also have a very hard time to recover mobility when under such fatigue

But this maybe different for everyone ... but myself have not been out in public for the last year and doctor has just retired so have no idea what happens next ...

@augieray Thanks for sharing, Augy. We were just talking about how many people think it's no big deal. I don't understand people. Thankfully there are vaccines now but to act like it's no big deal is just stupid, especially for those exposing immunocompromised people.
