Covid Is Still Here

The article is good, but they may have buried the lede.

“How many people died from COVID-19? Probably more than 20 million.”

It is clearest and best to post about something that has ended or just begun. This blog had notices about COVID before it became such a controversy. That was five years ago. Evidently, it is significant as some worried back then. And it still persists. Vaccines exist, but are not panaceas. Doubts persist, despite deaths and data. Now, we’ve also noticed Long Covid, a persistent set of symptoms that are significant. The fact that the virus has become established is significant, especially as it continues to evolve.

“In the U.S., an average of about 900 people a week have died of COVID-19 over the past year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” – PBS
