A graphic illustrating the many ways COVID can impact the body: Cardiovascular symptoms eg abnormal heart rhythm, cardiac inflammation heart attacks. Neurologic symptons eg brain fog, headaches, dysautonomia, strokes. Metabolic symptoms eg dyslipidemia and diabetes. Viral persistence may cause inflammation and reactivate dormant viruses. Immune dysregulation may increase immune reactivity. Microbiome dysbiosis may impair gut-brain signaling and metabolic regulation. Endothelial inflammation may activate coagulation cascades and elicit microthrombosis. Neuronal inflammation may result from activate microglia and immune cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction may impair metabolism and lead to fatigue and metabolic symptoms.

Downplaying the risks of COVID has shifted the Overton window, and now we also get to worry about measles outbreaks and a resurgence of HIV denialism.
I'm not asking for everyone to be as cautious as I am, but I'd appreciate it if more people of good will spoke up when others minimize or dismiss the severity of the situation.
This isn't a respiratory disease. It's a vascular, multisystem disease that we do not know how to treat.
