Would love to see more mention of naturally acquired antibodies / immunity, else (as in this article) the term "unvaccinated" is overloaded in my opinion. For example, are stats around naturally immunized folks different? I imagine so..

Long Covid is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's like losing a decade of your life, in a few weeks.

I'm constantly tired, and I get dizzy quickly if I talk a lot. Yet my pulse-ox meter says I'm doing ok, but my pulse is a bit quick.

The last year I've been in limbo, I had co-workers who definitely had Covid-19, and I got sick, but it was before testing was widely available, so there's no documentation to make a case. I've been through cardiology and pulmonology, even having a probe stuffed into my heart to check things, and the best I got was "You're probably NOT likely to just fall over and die"... which was a vast improvement from when I first asked the question.

Do everything you can to avoid long Covid, please!

I got my second vaccine shot the first week of January so it looks like I am at increased risk for getting the Delta variant compared to those who got the vaccine later this year. Bummer.
