Even though we are all tired of the Covid 19 pandemic, the pandemic is not through with us. In fact, the new variant BA.5 is so contagious that it is evading our immunity. The good news is that Vaccines and Boosters are helping to reduce the severity of Covid infections and that wearing N95 masks can still protect us from catching and spreading this virus.
There are serious potential health consequences of getting infected with Covid:
*It can affect multiple organs and systems
*It resolves in some but remains persistent in others
*It can be very debilitating
*Its pathology is still not totally understood
*You can get infected with Covid multiple times
* People are dying from Covid
