If you're the 60% of the US who cared about the pandemic but decided at some point that wearing a mask for 15 minutes in places vulnerable people need to go like a pharmacy was too much to ask because you're just sick of it I'm actually angrier at you than I am at covid deniers.

Heart-disease risk soars after COVID — even with a mild case

A major study finds that having COVID-19 makes you much likelier to suffer over twenty different heart conditions, including heart failure and strokes. “It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, diabetic or not, obese or not, if you smoked, or didn’t.”

Nature - Massive study shows a long-term, substantial rise in risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke, after a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
