Prob not how I’d report a study that found 7.2% of kids who got Covid still hadn’t recovered two years later.

I mean come on man. It’s kids. If baby food left 7.2% of kids sick two years later, we’d be climbing the walls.

@who.int Director-General's remarks at a media briefing on 10 December 2024:

"We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.

The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to."

But a PHEIC and a pandemic are two different things...
