Same with the leftard morons like the dazzler that went with the DeathSantis meme and then voted in 2022 for dems who supported lockdowns, school closures and vaxx and mask mandates after telling us that the science was settled and it came from a bat at at wet market.
It's not over for masks, they will be spotted at Seatac soon.
Long Covid is largely a hypochondriac thing. Prove me wrong.
"The lifting of mask mandates and indifferent attitude toward masking and social distancing typical in many public and private places further isolates people with Long COVID," the report said. As a result, policymakers should "encourage or mandate policies and protocols regarding masking and social distancing in public spaces," it said."
"Listening to and learning from the experiences of long COVID patients is essential to accelerating understanding and breakthroughs," said Rachel Levine, assistant secretary for health. Levine said the new HHS report is "evidence of our commitment to engaging communities to provide patient-led solutions."

Walking into a hospital sounds about as much fun to me as being mugged in an alley.
And if I were to go to a US hospital, I suspect the outcome to my wallet would be about the same as getting mugged.
Instead, I opted to dip my feet into the world of medical tourism.
There’s nothing wrong with me that I know of — I’m fairly young (mid-30s) and healthy. But it’s been about ten years since I last went to the doctor, so I figured a check up wouldn’t hurt.
But I didn’t want just ANY checkup. I wanted the full 100,000 mile tune-up.
So where did I go to receive top-notch healthcare at a bargain price? Mexico!
After doing some research, I booked an appointment at a popular Mexico City hospital which caters to foreigners.
I say ‘appointment’, but it was actually more than a dozen appointments in one, everything from dental, abdominal ultrasound, blood work, and more. But everything was finished in just a few hours.
Here’s how it went.
After flying into Mexico City I arrived at the Medica Sur complex and checked into my hotel — there is a Holiday Inn in one of the several buildings on campus.
At 7am I headed into the check-up center.
My broken Spanish prompted them to assign me a translator at no extra cost, even though most of the doctors spoke perfect English anyway.
The hospital runs these check-ups extremely efficiently; there was shockingly very little down time in between appointments. I never waited for much more than ten minutes between tests and consultations.
Doctors came to get me from the central waiting room and walked me to each exam. This included:
The typical triage where they take your blood pressure and listen to your heart and breathing with a stethoscope Blood draws for a very wide range of laboratory tests Vision check Audio check Dental x-rays and cavity check An ear, nose, and throat exam An electrocardiogram stress test Upper abdomen ultrasound Chest teleradiography Forearm densitometry Orthopedic consultation Nutritionist consultation Rectosigmoidoscopy
For anyone unfamiliar, a rectosigmoidoscopy is one step down from a colonoscopy. It doesn’t require anesthesia, but confirms that you don’t have colon or prostate cancer.
I probably didn’t need to do that until my 40s, but it never hurts to do an examination early.
Speaking of which, I’m specifically describing the male ‘under 40’ exam. The male ‘over 40’, and all female exams, include even more tests.
Each doctor explained what they would be doing and why. Everything was impeccably professional.
After the blood draw and proctological tests that required fasting, they served us a very nice meal.
And by 1pm, I was all done.
They meet with patients in person again within two weeks for an in-depth discussion of the results. Since I left Mexico City before that, we set up an appointment for a video call.
I paid out of pocket 23,405 pesos, or $1,196 including the English translation of the results.
The price tag at a US Mayo Clinic for that type of service is typically closer to $5,000.
What’s really interesting is that, in addition to having international accreditation, Medica Sur is also a member of the Mayo Clinic’s hospital network. So there’s a high quality medical brand that has put its seal of approval on Medica Sur.
After my appointments, I stayed on campus to explore the cafes and restaurants they have to offer. I wrote most of this article sitting in an open-air juice bar and café, across from the indoor deli and restaurant. There is a Starbucks next to that, and other restaurants throughout campus.
The whole complex feels more like a nice shopping plaza than a hospital.
Now, my larger point here is not so much to tell you about Medica Sur; we’re certainly not in the business of advertising for hospitals.
The real idea here is to highlight that you always have options… for just about everything in your life… if you expand your thinking internationally.
The world is a big place. And whether you’re looking for a better job, unique investment opportunities, quality workers for your business, a new romance, cheaper retirement, lower taxes, stronger banks, or really great medical care, there are options all over the world.
Mexico is just one of many places in the world with a thriving medical tourism industry. If you really want to see next-level medical tourism, try Thailand, where they blow the doors off service and value.

Get your updated shot...then get another one...then another...this has been my final message...until you need your next shot...
Fitting.
