If you had covid and were entirely asymptomatic what would it change? You don't develop any long term immunity from having it (and likely even less from such a minor case). Because you were lucky with it last time doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of next time (in fact maybe you were only lucky because you were recently vaxed, but unless you are getting vaxes all the time this won't always apply). You could worry about long covid complications from a covid infection you didn't even know you had, but unless you have actual symptoms of long covid, noone's health insurance is that good.

You develop an anamnestic response. Each exposure trains your T cells to respond more quickly the next time.

The worst case of long covid that I know of is a friend who has had it for 18 months and counting. Her case of covid wasn’t bad at all. A week with loss of taste and smell. No other symptoms.

Long covid conversations always make me think of Tammy. I hope she is well.

Except no you don’t. My friend has applied for it and was rejected. And yes, I’m sure you know my friend’s illness better than she does. Thanks for the insight doc.

Signs on businesses reading "everyone welcome" used to mean LGBTQ but now in my state they mean unmasked and unvaccinated, the newest minority group to be stigmatized.

WOW! We have something in common. Who woulda thunk?

I'm a roadrunner myself to date. Rob

How to share with everyone that you don’t understand the difference between sexual orientation and sexual preference without saying ‘I’m a stupid eff that doesn’t know the difference.’
