Deaths grab our attention and are relatively easy to quantify and run in a headline.
Long-term symptoms: Murkier and harder to quantify, but no less real. Distressingly common. Nobody knows how long they’ll last in any given patient. Not nearly enough attention was paid to it at any point.
As always, the things we didn’t know about this virus were reasons for additional *caution*, not recklessness.
Shifting the goalposts? No. Learning more. Adding to our knowledge and understanding. Educating others.
