I should take colds in general more seriously than I did pre-pandemic: Staying at home with cold symptoms is good.
General masking during cold season is good.
We should have air filters in all public indoor spaces.
Long covid is real and we should keep getting covid shots and avoid infections.
Things I’m confused about (and would appreciate input on):
Will covid become just another cold like the other coronaviruses? If so, does this include declining long covid risk?
At this point, is the health&well-being impact of long covid risk or of sustained self-isolation bigger?
How does long covid risk compare to risk of long-term problems from [other cold]? I.e., how much of the concern is spotlight effect?
