From Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly himself: The big revelation here is that the risk persists for 3 years in several organ systems (e.g. GI and nervous system) even 3 years after a mild infection. Healthcare professionals are taught that acute infections as short-term events with health effects that manifest around the time of infection. The data challenges those teachings and shows that mild Covid can still cause health effects even 3 years later. Acute infections can have long-term health effects. Covid continues to teach us something new at every turn and this is one very important new lesson. Link to OP: https://x.com/zalaly/status/1796147212411371821?t=YoOCWlb7flljs05LlXEqTA&s=09
I saw this recently reposted (to draw attention to this particular point) & thus wanted to reshare that part of the 🧵 here as well.
