SIDE-COMMENT: I have reason to believe there's going to be more and more long covid as as people let there guard down with the current variant's initial infection phase. I speculate if it is almost in the diseases favor to infect more people with many many mild cases asymptomatic cases that will lead to more and more long covid cases. We simply don't know what the long term repercussions of this disease truly are for those who continue to catch each variant that comes along no matter how mild, asymptomatic, or harmless each variant seems.
The long term repercussions of covid are proving to be much more insidious than the short term initial symptom/phase of infection the long term repercussions of covid appear to be cumulative with compound interest and could just whittle more and more people down far exceeding expectations. What I'm getting at is there's the first few days of symptoms people think that they are okay if they survive only to go on to have all sorts of long term health repercussions later in life because this diseases seems to also have dormant aspects that create long term repercussions. People are cocky and too sure of themselves thinking if they survive the cold like symptoms that they beat covid somehow when in fact they will have all sorts of health problems later on down the road of time.. and these long term repercussions will worsen the more they catch these bouts of covid.
Just as an example of what I am talking about would be my grandfather a world war 2 vet who caught malaria in the war and survived it only to have all sorts of problems later in life like severe arthritis and its because of the kind of malaria he had caught ...
... " malaria, particularly Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale, can lie dormant in the liver for months or years, leading to relapses. Malaria causes joint pain (arthralgia) during infections and can lead to long-term issues like chronic joint discomfort. Other complications include anemia, organ failure, cerebral malaria, and chronic fatigue"
...yeah covid is proving to lead to long covid and long term repercussions possibly in a similar way or at least in a somewhat similar fashion as to what happen to my grandfather with malaria. There are many diseases that carry long term repercussions.
