I get very frustrated at how quickly everyone wants to disregard the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic and repeat infections as a source of rising mortality and shortened lifespans. Yes, sedentary lifestyle, microplastics, substance abuse and the rest are health threats. But the ONLY significant, population-level event that's occured in the past three years (and continues to occur) is COVID. In the years to come, we'll learn how wrong we were to take this so lightly.
