In terms of, you know, the role of long COVID in that, you know, I'm not, I think that's kind of a separate issue. And, you know, how COVID has changed our health behaviors, I think, and how that might impact long COVID. As you mentioned earlier, we still are struggling with this idea of misinformation around COVID, different access and awareness within particular communities, issues around

whether people should get vaccinated or not, right? So those kinds of things that have come up because of the COVID pandemic, we're still trying to figure out how to address those and what the impact of that is gonna be on long COVID, right?

If people aren't getting vaccinated, if people can't go in, not only to get tested, but to get vaccinated and then to perhaps even talk to a provider about this, where even providers may not be fully aware of what's going on with long COVID. I think those are all things that and then and then COVID fatigue. All right. The pandemic fatigue.

All these things are significant public health and individual level issues that we have to combat and that could result in, you know, More long COVID than there needs to be, right? More COVID than there needs to be, more long COVID than there needs to be, unless we can start figuring out ways to bring it back into people's frame that it's still a significant issue.

Just because it's not as much COVID going on as there used to be, it's still there and it's not going away.

Just because it's not as much COVID going on as there used to be, it's still there and it's not going away.

Yeah. And I mean, there's still there's still things that came out of the pandemic that we're slowing down on. Right. We're we're behaving as if we did before the pandemic, not that, you know, this might be the season when everybody's getting together and big family get togethers or going out to concerts or events. And, you know, you might want to think twice about some of that still.

The idea of masking, if not, you know. For others, at least, you know, well, for others, right, if you feel like you're getting sick or something, staying away from others, masking, you know, those things are still going to be helpful. But we're not really thinking about that stuff as much anymore.

And from a long COVID perspective, those are things that can help reduce or prevent the onset of more long COVID and then long COVID. Stan, you're on mute.

Well, not a... a disease in particular, you know, I mean, we did mention earlier that it looks like, um, the virus itself may be impacting issues around diabetes, uh, blood pressure, kidney disease, stroke, Kate mentioned microclots potentially what it has done. And then a lot of these other conditions, obviously cancer, asthma, diabetes, blood pressure, um,

Sickle cell disease, you know, these are all conditions, chronic conditions that make you more susceptible to infection and to other things, right? So there's more, hopefully more attention to that, right?
