 @920a9c34 what a meandering, confused article. I miss Ed Yong so much. 

The headline says repeat infxs are cumulatively dangerous, per VA study. The lede is a woman who haplessly keeps getting reinfected w/increasingly severe sx, but next up is someone who got reinfected from their kids' unmitigated school exposures & doesn't notice lingering sx,  and it concludes with woman #1 saying it's inevitable everyone is going to get it. 

It read like viral PR, trying to convince us we must all submit.
