It won't disapper for many people.

Meet the "long-haulers," the young and healthy Covid-19 patients who never got better. I interviewed 24 of them. A Mount Sinai doctor says many may have developed post-viral dysautonomia, a neurological condition. My column: https://t.co/fssfKcPW4m via @WSJ

As I said, my mother-in-law lost hearing in one ear from measles as a child.  These kinds of effects are not unusual.  What's unusual is that we've defeated so many such diseases that all we've had to worry about for decades now is influenza outbreaks and, recently, anti-vaxxers.  Now it's like we're being plunged back into the real, pre-vaccination, world.  When people said covid-19 was "like the flu," they were unable to imagine or remember the damage done by "childhood diseases" that our children have never known.

We still don't know what we're dealing with, or how long the consequences will be with us.  For some, like polio, it will be lifelong.  And we have a President who can only try to wish it all away.

Trump needs to carry this badge of shame through the rest of history.
