You are correct. We still don't know the long term effects of even mild Covid.
It makes me angry and sad that this has been forced on the younger generations, who are subject to getting Covid regularly, because that's "life" in their current world.
It makes me sad that I have to limit my interactions with loved ones. No indoor holiday celebrations for me.
We live in a bubble....literally. I have health issues that put me in a more precarious situation than others. My husband is a scientist and came up with a solution that allows me to be safe. He and I wear what is called a PAPR when indoors with other people. PAPR stands for Powered Air Purifying Respirator. It is battery powered, and filters air through a P100 filter. It has a helmet, and does evoke outer space or the future. It is a solution, but it is not an ideal way to live. I resent the hassle sometimes. Like you, there is really no alternative for us.
I resent that we all have been forced to deal with Covid in our lives, to whatever degree. And I am angry and sad at all the lives lost.
I am glad to connect with you on DU.
