Woah the list of the consequences.. if someone already has those before covid, what will happened after covid, cannot imagine..

The ideal scenario is not to be infected.

Some samples of media coverage on the possible potential side effects:

Covid-19 can hit more than once though reinfections tend to be milder: NCID


Professor Leo Yee Sin, executive director of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) told The Straits Times on Tuesday (March 8).

“It is imperative to stress that having had Covid-19 does not make one immune to Sars-CoV-2 forever,” she said, adding that the waning of protection after infection has been well documented in previous waves of the virus.

And while most reports to date suggest that, in general, Covid-19 reinfections tend to be milder, Prof Leo added that even a less severe variant like Omicron carries with it a risk of severe illness.
.........
She added that having caught the disease in the past does not make one immune from the coronavirus forever.

Based on one of the Qatar studies, it is possible for someone to get reinfected with the same Covid-19 variant within two months, said Prof Leo, but the longer term effects of the disease are uncertain for now.
..........
Non-pharmaceutical measures refer to actions, aside from getting vaccinated and taking medicine, that slow the spread of illnesses.

\"These also act to reduce virus transmission to slow down virus mutation, hence reducing the likelihood of new and more dangerous Covid-19 variants,\" said Prof Leo.

I think we are reaching the cusp where we decide that covid is no big deal, as long as we are vaccinated. Moving on, barriers will start coming down, and masks will start coming off. But reports like \"omicron makes me more stupid\" will give pause to any celebration. Sigh.

Trace Forever? OMG! This is pathetic...just because they've budgeted a lot last year to sustain the wages of many part-time TT / SafeEntry doormen and SDA, so they won't let us off?
