Covid Reinfection Research

Research from the journal Nature that I mentioned in my previous post about repeat Covid infections causing increased risk of an array of health problems, and that that risk increases with each instance of infection.

"Our results show that beyond the acute phase, reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 contributes substantial additional risks of all-cause mortality, hospitalization and postacute sequelae in the pulmonary and broad array of extra pulmonary organ systems."

If what Miriam already has is long Covid, could her already serious chronic health problems become worse if she is reinfected? Probably.
