What I observe often happening in the public debate is that the unknowns related to long-COVID are the backup argument that the case for restrictions falls back on when the risks of short-COVID are presented and seen to be insufficient to justify such a severe government response.
- johnchristopher 5y agoI think I agree. Strangely I don't see it hammered a lot, at least in Europe. It's usually more about lessening pressure on healthcare. Well, on a personal level it is long Covid I fear the most (or even long term consequences of a mild covid) and yet I am uneasy about the argument that restrictions are put in place only to soften the impact of the pandemic on hospitals. It means that maybe if hospitals weren't full then our leaders wouldn't care about people getting covid ?
