Is long COVID still a thing? The virus seems to have got milder as it has mutated, but what about long COVID, the reported persistence of mysterious symptoms even after the acute infection has passed? Is that still something worth worrying about?
To the casual observer it certainly seems like no-one is worried. I went to a conference the other day and two of the around 1,000 people there wore masks. Is that justified, or are we sleepwalking into trouble?
The science on long COVID is concerning. A major paper released the other day argued that not only is long COVID real, your chances are worse in a subsequent infection.
