Long Thread on Health Risks with Reinfection . While the Herd Immunity brigade has been pushing their agenda,we need to understand the risk of multiple reinfections .It is an interesting cohort with 12.29% with 2 reinfections 0.76% with 3,.08 with 4 ctd).doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… 
Ctd2)Clearly the time for reinfections is getting shorter 79 for 2nd to 65 days for 3rd & so on.Also the hazard is not only to the lungs BUT also to heart,blood vessels ,Gastrointestinal systems, kidney , the brain, the soft tissues and bones & the brain in that order ctd)
Ctd3) clearly if you are not vaccinated you are at higher risk BUT only vaccination isnt enough #VaccinePlus strategy is important , the risk remains high for 6 months with measurable reduction every 30 days BUT we are getting reinfected in that period (now 65 days ) ctd)
Ctd4)Compared to 3 infections those infected twice had 30% lesser risk ,& 1 infection had 60% + lesser risk of sequelae including mortality , hospitalizations & #LongCovid.So makes sense to prevent sequential issues.Science will catch up eventually with better tools ctd)
Ctd 5) This brings me to final question- What do we do ?? - 1) Mask with #N95 as a principle in public places 2) Get boosted 3) advocate updated vaccines 4) Advocate early treatment & take it 5) advocate for clean air 6) get kids vaccinated 7) help people understand the risk 🙏
