There are many, many scientists who are attempting to warn us that isn’t nothing. The literature is piling up. Paper: Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months following initial mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection – https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-021-01113-x https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-021-01113-x Paper: “Excess risk for acute myocardial infarction mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic” — https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.28187 https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.28187 Paper: “p53/NF-kB Balance in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: From OMICs, Genomics and Pharmacogenomics Insights to Tailored Therapeutic Perspectives (COVIDomics)” — https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2022.871583 https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2022.871583 SARS-CoV-2 directly and indirectly interferes with p53 expression and balance. On p53: “p53, cellular tumor antigen p53 (UniProt name); p53 proteins are crucial in vertebrates, where they prevent cancer formation. As such, p53 has been described as "the guardian of the genome" because of its role in conserving stability by preventing genome mutation. Hence TP53 is classified as a tumor suppressor gene.” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53 The literature goes on and on and on. People really are not okay after contracting this virus. I know plenty of people who simply are not recovering after COVID illness. Friends. Close family. Kids. We are being warned. And crucially: We can clean this crap out of the air. Nobody has to breathe in SARS-CoV-2. We absolutely must demand that something is done. There’s lots and lots that can be done.

I would not wonder if you throw so much research time to a normal flu you will find similar things.

  People do study that. There's known to be a significantly increased risk of heart attack and stroke in people who have recovered from influenza, but that risk returns to baseline after about two months. The big risk is in the first 7 days.[1] [1] https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1702090 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1702090

  There's been a serious research effort against influenza for a century now.

All of these seem to say the risks of complications are extremely rare? I mean it's endemic at this point so it's really really shitty if you are one of the unlucky few but what can we even do? > We can clean this crap out of the air. Nobody has to breathe in SARS-CoV-2. ?? What do you even mean. Maybe if the vaccine prevented spreading the virus we could but until we develop that I don't see how that is possible.

  With SARS-CoV-2, complications are more common than death, and it’s still among the top reasons why people die. Re. cleaning it out of the air: It’s literally airborne and it can literally be cleaned out of the air. When infected, people emit tiny fluid particles which contain the virus. These are so small that they don’t fall to the ground. Filter materials like in HEPA filters and respirator masks strip these particles out of the air. Very effectively. (Surgical masks don’t work. Same kind of material, gaps at the sides. It doesn’t work.) We can literally clean the air. We do not have to breathe this virus in. That’s just one of the things we can do. Paper: “Effectiveness of HEPA Filters at Removing Infectious SARS-CoV-2 from the Air” – https://doi.org/10.1128/msphere.00086-22 https://doi.org/10.1128/msphere.00086-22 Paper: “The Removal of Airborne Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Other Microbial Bioaerosols by Air Filtration on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Surge Units” – https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciab933 https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciab933 “Ten scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2” – https://doi.org/10.1016/s0140-6736(21)00869-2 https://doi.org/10.1016/s0140-6736(21)00869-2 Why am I saying all of this? Because I have a moral obligation to do so. Why do I know this? I don’t know anything. I’ve just read those scientific papers. Why did I read them? Because high-risk pregnancy. But does it apply outside of high-risk pregnancy? Yes.

  A national program to make every indoor space have proper ventilation / air purification. It's shocking how much this can help with other things e.g. asthma or allergies.
