"This could be due to long-haulers’ inability to mount an appropriate, timely immune response to clear the COVID-19 infection each time, leading to greater susceptibility to developing PASC in subsequent infections."

I've had a realisation about one of the sliding doors moments in the pandemic.
I had a chat with a consultant anaesthetist a couple of months ago when he asked me why I wore an ffp3 mask, and a couple of things he said in reply didn't make sense.
His words had been bouncing round in the back of my head all this time, then I saw something today that made complete sense of them.
He had been talking about the distinction between droplets and aerosols and how he had had training and briefings at which he had seen studies that had *proven* that most transmission in healthcare settings was *at close range*.
