We have known for literal years at this point that fomite transmission is essentially a non issue for COVID, what is up with this April 2020 level information? COVID is transmitted by breathing in air that someone with COVID has exhaled. It can linger in the air like cigarette smoke. And vaccination does not prevent you from getting long COVID, even if you are young and healthy.
The best way to not get long COVID is to not get COVID. The best way to not get COVID is to wear a mask. Definitely get vaccinated in case you do get it, but it’s still better to not get it than to get it.
We also have literally no idea what getting COVID every year for 4, 5, 6, etc years will do and I don’t intend to be part of the test group.
We know it attacks the testicles but so far it hasn’t seemed to cause infertility. But what happens to babies being born, getting infected dozens of times by the time they reach adulthood?
This is a bit extreme, but for all we know we’re at the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it.
Even not thinking that extreme we really have no idea what’s going to happen long term. A recent report from stats canada says 1/9 Canadians have had long covid, and half still have symptoms as of June 2023. Give it another 5 years and it’s only going to be worse.

Its an airborne virus. Washing your hands doesnt help. Wear a mask, ventilate, and use air purifiers.
