This is what concerns me. Bear with me in this thread. Prior to #omicron sub variants, I could reassure patients & tell them they probably had a few months of protection. Not anymore. Cause if you had omicron, you are not likely protected against the newer BA.4 & BA.5 strains.
Hence your risk of infection & then reinfection is now very high. Why? Cause these #variants are escaping the #vaccines.
So for those living their lives & not trying to avoid the virus, your risk of #longcovid is very high.

I am especially pleading to the young population, the last thing you want is suffer from #brainfog & #shortnessofbreath for the rest of your lives. We don’t have a cure at this point for #longhaulers. Your goal should be to AVOID this virus but if not, avoid getting reinfected!
I try not to be an alarmist but relay honest & science based info. At this point wearing a #KN95 is key! Avoiding large groups is key. Protecting the elderly & vulnerable is crucial. And test, test & test! Assume you have COVID if you get a cold. #rapidtest
This is a new phase of the #pandemic. We must have a better idea on #dailycases & not only focus on hospitalizations & deaths. #CDC must show us graphs on new #variants so the public is informed. Right now the public doesn’t know much. CDC is quiet. Where is the COVID task force?
Lastly we can’t let this virus rip. It’s what we did in the past & it’s what are doing now. Moving forward many will apply for disability & handicap stickers due to #longcovid if we are not aggressive! Hang in there! Hugs.
