"Long COVID-19" and its impact on Americans
« on: January 22, 2021, 12:55:33 PM »
A nice special (5 minute watch) from PBS' NOVA about the emerging insights into 'long COVID.'

The possibility of a significant long-term autoimmune response, with neurological, cardiac or respiratory consequence, is pretty terrifying. I'm wearing my mask and limiting contacts until the second injection is in my arm.

Probably six months. No direct interaction with patients, and no risk factors. When the NYTimes had an online tool a few weeks back to estimate where I’d be in a line of 100 people, I was 95th.

I’m glad I have a couple of nice, comfortable masks.
