What are some things I consider Very Bad that I don't see?

1) The Multiple-Hit Hypothesis
Folks who recovered from #LongCOVID can & will catch SARS-CoV-2 and contract #LongCOVID a second time. And many won't recover this time.
Many #pwME had multiple hits (usually but not necessarily w/o full recovery) before a 'point of no return'.

2) A Deadlier Variant
People assumed Omicron was 'mild' because they observed fewer deaths. As it turns out, it was killing vaccinated ppl less often. It's not less deadly than other variants. There is no reason we will move towards less deadly variants. scmp.com/news/world/uni…

The idea that viruses "naturally" always mutate to become less deadly is a very old idea but is not likely to be the case.
If we continue to allow SARS-CoV-2 to spread freely, a much more deadly variant could be the result.

3) We become a majority-disabled nation
Not all sequelae are '#LongCOVID Classic'.
Repeated infection leads to damage in most everyone, attacking each individual's weakest body system.
1/4 adults had a disability pre-pandemic, so this is VERY much in reach.

If #3 happens, we'll see the collapse of industries. Food shortages, supply chain issues of today will worsen.
This is our current path because:
1) we can't admit our mistakes
2) we've chosen to prioritize short-term financial gains over long-term stability

4) Geopolitical power shifts
Many countries are doing much better with COVID than we are, one in particular that many would consider our rival in commerce. Fewer dead and disabled means more innovation, more workers, a better economy for them.

5) A Ticking Time Bomb
Just like EBV triggers MS -- a long-term illness that often goes undiagnosed at first -- and HIV triggers AIDS, which may not manifest for years -- it could be that SARS-CoV-2 also has some unpleasant surprises in store 5,10,15 years down the line.

Radical change from our governmental agencies is required.
Sticking our heads in the sand isn't a strategy.
Turn the ship before we hit any of THESE icebergs.

(That I don't see people talking about, yet)
I always forget how deep the rabbit hole of misinformation goes. For anyone thinking, "but re: points #1 and #3, you can't just keep getting COVID forever! Herd immunity, natural immunity!" 🙂🌈
