I know denial is a more comfortable way to live. But it risks the lives of everyone around you.

And it’s not just lives at stake. So far, in my small cohort of Covid patients (none ill enough to require hospitalization) I have one with hearing loss due to it, one with diabetes due to it, one young man at risk of infertility due to it, and three patients unable to work nine months on due to Long Covid Syndrome (as well as one 30 year old healthy man still working but struggling with the fatigue of Long Covid 9 months out). This is out of maybe 20-30 mild-moderate outpatient cases.
