Perhaps unsurprising, those most readily downplaying the risks of #covid19 infection, incl #longcovid, have also never treated a covid patient.
You’ll be hard pressed to find many doctors doing this— we have seen enough patients die, or survive & still suffer afterwards.

2/ We have had a lot of spread — & we are at risk of a lot more (unmasking of course not helping). Telling ourselves it is mild doesn’t make that true, esp re more chronic health consequences.
Masking alone won’t solve this either. There’s a lot more needed than that.

3/ While many have been infected with #Omicron, there are likely many who have not been. With increases in BA2 variant, I suspect we will have enough susceptible people to sustain some level of resurgence soon, but unclear what that will look like. I hope I’m wrong. @jlsalinas7
4/ Of course, our response right now to unmask is as much a political one as it is a recognition of a lower community incidence post-Omicron wave number 1
& understandably people are exhausted & want to catch this break now
My bigger concern is we may not prepare fast enough

5/ People would be wise to also count the benefit of delaying infection— when we have a better understanding of the true costs to our health; and when we have better therapeutics & a better sense of when to use them most optimally
