"What makes getting long COVID especially dangerous is that there is currently no cure for it."

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy Any time I've known I was exposed, I tested. I was vaccinated till I stopped being able to get the boosters. I have never had a positive test. Is there a way to test if I've ever had asymptomatic covid?

@hellomiakoda @mu @DenisCOVIDinfoguy Vaccines are widely available at most pharmacies and doctor's offices. Basically wherever you might get any other vaccine such as a flu shot. Additionally local public health sites generally list places doing outreach to provide free shots, tests, and masks (since masking is still one of the most effective ways of avoiding illness given the rapid mutations of the virus).
