Long COVID six years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic

I covered the 15th anniversary of Fukushima yesterday, so I'm blogging about the sixth anniversary of COVID-19 being declared a pandemic today. As the preview image shows, March 11, 2020 was an eventful date for the pandemic beyond the WHO declaration. Watch Fox 13 Tampa Bay report 6 years later: Millions living with long COVID.

Six years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Americans are still living with its long-term effects.

Seven million dead from the disease worldwide? More like 21 million. That written, the big story is long COVID, which I touched on in 'The Pandemic Made People Worse Drivers,' a driving update when I pointed out the increased strokes and worse heart health mentioned in the SciShow video. The public health emergencies declared during the pandemic may have ended three years ago, but the after effects linger on. So does the denialism, which has infected the comments to this video on YouTube. Who's hiding under the bridge of an online science article? You don't want to know.

That's a wrap for today's observance. Stay tuned for Friday the 13th.
