I was somewhat amazed that my last Covid Update on Friday actually made it to the rec list (first time in over 500 entries?), and absolutely astounded that the poll question regarding current personal vaccination status garnered over 2000 responses!

For purposes of this poll, we’ll use the CDC definition for Long Covid of still experiencing symptoms at least a month or more after initially testing positive, particularly “brain fog” and excessive fatigue.
