#3And yet people look at me like I have two heads when I explain that I’m still actively making every effort to avoid getting Covid.
The long term brain damage is going to be a massive impact on companies who are forcing RTO and causing their employees to deal with repeat exposures to Covid from co-workers.

#4i don't know that it would be fair of me to bemoan the slow progress of long covid research given how new it is by medical standards, but at the very least i am glad that mainstream awareness and reporting seem to be increasing
it's quite scary that everyone who catches covid is rolling the dice on potentially debilitating, poorly understood complications, and i have to imagine people in general would behave very differently if they were mindful of this. and there's the systemic difficulty forced on current long covid sufferers, who have an uphill battle in persuading those around them (including, often, medical professionals!) that they have a real and sometimes severe condition

#5Why aren't we updating the mRNA vaccines to better combat the new variants? Wasn't the initial thinking that we'd all get an updated shot once or twice a year?

We did. It's called the "bivalent" booster. We have paxlovid and the omicron variants are much milder than the previous strains.

We are? I got an updated booster for Omicron variants last June.
Re: The haunting brain science of long Covid
#9I've been saying this since the exact start of the pandemic. I already have brain issues and I simply do not want to roll the dice that are very much not in my favor. If I get covid and I live I pretty much know that the rest of my life is more fucked than it already is. But everybody's walking around the grocery store without masks on. Nobody gives to fucks about anybody else anymore. So here I am, still purposefully having my life on pause, the one time a week if even that that I go to the grocery store I still wear my n95 mask... I just don't get it. I don't. I'm supposed to be this impulsive flighty forgetful person with ADHD and issues with executive control but the entire population is acting like they have these issues instead of me. No one is able to do risk assessment of this very glaring issue in front of us.
