    The problem with covid is that its effects are delayed: My relatives don't understand that asymptomatic spread means that they're contagious before they have symptoms, don't understand that even if their covid feels "very mild", they can still get long covid, etc. People don't correlate covid's effects with covid itself because it's not on the timeline they expect for a respiratory virus.
