Comment on How do you currently handle Covid infections?

Why would it be any different than before? Some of the answers here range from depressing to terrifying.
I know people whose health and lives are being threatened by Covid, directly and indirectly, as we speak. Infectious disease continues to be infectious. Do what we all learned to do.
Seriously.

Many people seem to be treating it differently now because the average person who catches it has milder symptoms than a couple years ago. The potential for long-term consequences seems to be left out of the conversation.

It's not even long-term consequences. Immunodepressed people still exist.
But yeah, long term consequences, too.
People shouldn't be thinking if they can start treating Covid like a cold or a flu ,they should be thinking about using what they learned from Covid when they get a cold or a flu instead.
