#Covid worst case scenarios

Are we as a group (#COVIDCareful) soft-pedaling how bad things could get? Certainly I don't see any experts putting their necks out there.

Recently a preprint came out that basically shows everyone infected has chronic T-cell activation years after the infection with very little attenuation with time past the acute phase. There's little difference between those with LongCovid and 'recovered'

Vaccination provides little to no help in this case.

If this is caused by persistence (likely IMHO), unless cleared it could continue forever, basically rendering *the vast majority of the population* immune-compromised.

How many years do we have before incidental infections kill the infected?

Meanwhile except for the #CovidCareful, everyone is getting reinfected at a greater frequency (3-4x/yr -- Japanese data: https://nordot.app/1044409895176618680]

All indications are that repeated reinfections makes everything worse.

Do we even have 10yrs left??
