Let me post a gentle reminder. SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus repeats wave-like successive attacks with 4-6 months intervals. The damage from the first infection may look mild, but the cumulative damage from the repeated attacks could be deadly.

"Of more than 665 million cases worldwide, nearly 1 in every 2 people with COVID-19 is at risk of developing Post-COVID-19 Neurological Syndrome (PCNS).. PCNS mimic some of the symptoms after a stroke and younger adults seem to be at particular risk."

The current COVID-19 viruses are neurotropic. Every infected person will probably experience a progressive weakness to a greater or lesser extent. If the (re)infections continue at this rate, we will see a progressive weakness of the human society in not-so-distant future.

I think that the most dreadful effect of COVID-19 for humankind is mass cognitive decline which leads to a collapse of our civilized society. It is hard to prevent its progression, because the people who have got cognitive declines unrecognize that they have cognitive declines.
