Learning to live with Covid
Are we done with Covid19? The deep psychological impact of Covid came from tsunami-like waves of infections, where many people fell severely ill and faced difficulty in getting adequate healthcare, ultimately leading to many unexpected deaths within short periods. Despite this, the presence of prior immunity sharply reduces the risk of severe disease during infections, even with newer variants. During the severe Delta wave in India, breakthrough infections despite vaccination and reinfection despite prior infection, were both common. While Omicron was a less virulent variant than Delta, it was quite capable of causing severe disease and death in vulnerable people, as seen clearly in America, Hong Kong, and elsewhere.
