Looks like my "when dealing with a newly emergent disease under terminal-stage capitalism, always assume the most nightmarish biological and political outcomes" strategy of risk assessment is racking up more wins. Kind of a mouthful though, needs a name. Dietrick's Razor?
A highly virulent virus that can evade immunity and damage any part of the body with ACE2 receptors is bad and will absolutely accumulate damage. Every time you get infected it's roll of the dice as to how much damage it does before your immune system can stop it. Hopefully with vaccines and antivirals that damage is insignificant.
The long term effects we already know about are horrifying, and I'm starting to see people on twitter posting studies that say it's cumulative.
