Every COVID-19 infection carries a risk of Long COVID - affecting the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system in ways that can last months or longer.

Prevention still works.

- Masking: Wear a high-quality mask (N95 or better) to reduce spread
- Ventilation: Bring in fresh air and use HEPA filtration indoors
- Distancing: Reduce crowding, use hybrid/remote options when possible
- Testing: Test early and often
- Vaccination: Helps protect against severe illness, especially with other measures

I am not 100% certain but is it true that

"in 2026, if you've not developed longcovid from previous infections, the probability of developing longcovid from future infection is about 3%"

I can't remember where I saw this, or something similar, but it was the thing that finally led me to relax my masking and taking part in social events.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy I was talking with a medical professional last week about the late 2021 mini outbreak among Auckland Comedians mostly caused by hanging around in poorly ventilated bars with likely as few as only one infectious person. She really liked it that I say "When Covid was popular" rather than one of the other terms that suggest it is no longer here.
