Long COVID and our CHO

Sometimes it seems to me that out household Chief Health Officer Mary goes overboard in her obsession about health risks. Of late she has seemed to be a little focused on long COVID. Unfortunately every time I see an article about it the statistics cited seem to bear out her concerns. 

Large numbers of people do seem to be getting long COVID and vaccination confers little protection, according to a recent study. Regrettably, this argues for continued mask-wearing and managing down of exposure by not hanging out in large venues, for making use of warm weather that lets us be outside. We are fortunate to live in the south, where we get more of it.

Once more, Mary is right. Thank God she doesn't read my blog so she can't see me admitting that!
