I ran across this video while looking for something else. It really hit home. Many of us seem to believe or want to believe that soon Covid will simply go away and be a bad memory.

But as noted below, the effects of Covid may be around for many decades even if the virus were to simply disappear tomorrow. Since it won’t disappear tomorrow, we’d better be ready to understand what the long term consequences are.

I would hope that the threat of a disease that could haunt a person for a long time would be a spur to have them get vaccinated and practice prevention.
