And that's how COVID became the #1 cop killer for two years. But to hear my cop brother in law recount it: "COVID doesn't exist for us."

The right's pandemic policy ultimately hurt them more, but given the unknown future cost of long COVID, it could be far worse for everyone than we realize.

I’m starting to wonder how many of us have long term issues, or that issues that might get worse because of prior covid infections. I’m not sure if we have ever fully recovered our sense of smell and taste.

My wife became sensitive/allergic to both dairy and soy since being infected last winter, even fully vaccinated at the time, though likely during the least effective period of our vaccines.

My father in law, who is a retired state police officer, lost so many friends to COVID. I think at one point he had five straight weekends of funerals.
