“The study emphasizes the importance of understanding long COVID’s immune mechanisms but notes its findings are based on patients with severe initial infections, hinting at the complexity of the condition across different severities.”

An interesting thing, I only learned recently, is that long Covid is not only prevalent in initial severe cases, but the likelihood of long Covid increases with the overall number of infections.

This affects vaccinated folks, who may not get boosted regularly, catch mild cases now and then. We, I’ve had two, can feel confident that we don’t get severe, or we don’t go long. But alas, our chances of going long keep increasing. (Citation required)
