Nothing new here for most of us, but probably good agitprop to share around. Aspen Daily News so plenty of the right vibes for libs, imo.

    His fifth infection did it. Awesome.

    Once again, every study that has tried to measure the risk of reinfections shows that risk of long covid goes up with each infection.

    And since most people have had "mild" covid infections at this point, survivorship bias kicks in and people think it's no big deal.

    Not great.
