Some thoughts from a guy who's tracked more than 2,500 studies on #COVID19's chronic impact:
- I naively thought this would be a short-term project and that once the long-term risks were clear, people would take COVID seriously.
- I didn't expect risks of Long COVID to accumulate with each infection as they do. I thought LC might decline over time.
- It's depressing to see how quickly we knew of COVID's chronic harm--early studies were published in 2020/21, and we ignored them.
