[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still remember the MAGA people poo-pooing covid when there were only six-cases in the U.S.  We all know how that turned out.

I also see the "covid is like the flu" crowd is here as well.  News flash - flu doesn't cause cumulative brain damage or lung scarring (e.g. pulmonary fibrosis).

"Compared with the control group, volunteers with a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection had an additional 0.2% to 2% gray matter loss or tissue damage on average between their 2 sets of scans. For context, adults lose about 0.2% to 0.3% of gray matter in memory-related brain regions per year"

This article is written in simple terms for the "covid is like the flu" people to understand.  I know the deniers will say - oh, that guy is old, but I would remind everyone that there is no long-term data on multiple covid infections since it's only been in the U.S. since 2020.  However, there is data that pulmonary fibrosis (a) does occur with covid and (b) is cumulative with re-infections.

My kids stay masked, but if the lemmings want their kids to unmask, I feel bad for them, but on the other hand this is the only way that some people learn?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯[/quote]

Ok? Masks are there for you if you want them. [/quote]
