Over the next 3 years the average person is expected to have around 6-9 covid infections — Knowing everything we now know about SARS CoV 2 — How confident do you feel everything is going to be just fine? #LongCovid
When I spoke to @zalaly about repeat infections he said — at a certain point we might expect something like full immunity — Whether that’s 5th or 10th infection nobody can tell you, because variants change so often, so question is how much damage is accumulated before that point.
The way his research is often misinterpreted: “Of course there is no way for cumulative risk to decrease”, but the amount of cumulative risk increased was “incredibly significant” & “unanticipated” — So question is: how much damage to population level health before full immunity.
We talk a lot about symptomatic #LongCovid — Because it’s literally hell on earth, there’s millions of us and we’re doing nothing about it & yes, as of now, everybody is at risk whether you’re willing to accept that or not — In coming years we’re going to hear more about..
“Silent #LongCovid” the rise of onset heart attacks, strokes, dementia, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, etc from infection in general population without LC symptoms — The population burden we are expecting is not at all commensurate with the race to better therapeutics & prevention.
