demi7en,

@arstechnica ☝️ It may not take any single scary subvariant to actually be a scary proposal.

Every infection — the 'did their own research', so good on 'em 🤷🏻‍♂️ — attacks/lowers our defences and reactivates the prevalent and viruses which appear to be behind lot of the cases... we're approaching 100 million cases of long covid globally by the end of the year.

The best way to lower the risk of (long) covid to yourself and those you care about is by staying current on vaccinations and, yes, using a mask.

And thanks for demanding that in early 2020 flight had to be allowed to leave the and create this it covered up.

@arstechnica Feeling a strange sort of deja vu about hopes for a previous that never panned out. later we were hyped for 386, then 486, then… huh, what was it, the “pentium” strain of the virus?

what goes around comes around. i guess?
