@strypey Most cases resolve within 1–1.5 years. That's a long time to be potentially not able to work.
Again: Not a cold, not a flu, a flu with this severity and spread would normally be cause for an enhanced health and security response, and there are long-term effects beyond what any cold or flu has.
Even if the government response has been lowered due to fatigue it is not fair to label calls for enhanced
safety at conferences as unfounded, deluded, disproportional or otherwise divorced from reality. Reality is that the health environment is not the same as in 2019 and people with underlying conditions are justified in being extra cautious.
