Dear @UWaterloo about this hardline on returning to F2F Feb 28. A major element of #LongCovid seems to be microglial inflammation (that’s in the brain) yielding neurological damage. The prevalence of long COVID varies among studies, but 5-10% is a conservative estimate. 1/3 🧵 A #University’s greatest asset is their people. You’ve invested so much in all your #faculty. Mostly we are valued for our #brains. I wonder if those pushing the “learn to live with COVID” agenda have done the math on what it would cost if 5% of us got #LongCovid #NeuroCOVID 2/3
