Health tip: Don’t like to go to doctors or take pills? Do the following three things CONSISTENTLY: Healthy weight 👇 BMI between 18-25 Sleep 7-8 hours/night Exercise 30 min 3-4 times/wk It takes a little bit more than “an apple a day” in 2023:)

Tip: After a couple of hospital visits, if your doctor doesn’t give you specific answers or says “well, you’re a mystery” it means they don’t know what the heck is going on. Nudge them to consult a specialist. Never be a mystery in a hospital.

Lots of questions about if future SARS-CoV-2 variants might be more or less severe. I don’t have a crystal ball. But in this thread, I’ll describe what happened with other rapidly evolving respiratory viruses after initial pandemic, & describe some relevant SARS-CoV-2 data.

COVID booster shot provided ~95% protection against severe disease. Mild adverse effects (fever, aches, chills etc) were common. “People dying of sudden heart failure” is a myth. No patients developed any serious cardiac side effects in this study. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
