Is COVID-19 still an issue considering that there has been only 1151 new cases in the US, and 68 in India, and 73 in Germany yesterday? "Only" 7 people died out of these 1151 people in the US, and we do not know the details, I am assuming old age, compromised immune system, comorbidity, etc.
- Terretta 2y ago> “Is COVID-19 still an issue…?” Should we devote any time or effort on what to do about the 400 million people affected by long COVID worldwide, with an economic impact of $1 trillion annually? Is death the only symptom of concern? If the risk of developing long COVID rises with each new infection, is it clear that we can socially and economically afford to ignore it as new variants continue to spread? How might we reconcile the push to move on, with the reality of millions experiencing debilitating symptoms, some lasting years or even a lifetime? If long COVID can hit anyone, even the young or those with mild initial infections, should we be carrying on under the otherwise useful presumption it's not an ongoing threat? Whose interests does it serve for governments to be acting as if this problem has gone away, or the opposite?
