XBB.1.16 - dont get hit
Many will claim victory over Covid with regard to low O2 bed requirement, hospitalizations & deaths during acute phase of C19 infection - that is a remarkable achievement but we now have to focus on re-infection prevention as repeat infections are associated with:
⬆️⬆️ all cause mortality
⬆️⬆️ excess deaths
⬆️⬆️ of LongCovid causing disability
⬆️⬆️risks of sudden heart attack / sudden deaths
⬇️⬇️immunity significantly due to post-Covid immune dysfunction causing health systems to be overwhelmed by ⬆️⬆️ observed severity of infections by regular pathogens
Mask-up & prevent re-infections to protect your health. Covid may be mild in the acute phase but is the start of a disease process that will haunt people for years to come.
Not trying to be a fear monger but just a good citizen who is in the health sector treating patients 🙏🙏 more
