While sharing the story of a friend who was infected with covid twice: 

There could well be long-term effects of the illness, even for the young.

In most parts of the world, the situation now is worse than it's ever been since this started. We have 3 vaccine candidates that should be here in months. Hold on! Don't give up on being careful now - we could be past this in a few months. If you must meet family or friends for holidays (better if you don't), use masks and ventilation (a few open windows makes a big difference) where possible. If you are unsure about what measures are effective or anything else, please ask and I'll hunt down whatever information you need.

    Why I did this

    I am not an expert on Covid, viruses, or vaccines, but I am a scientist with relevant training. I believe we have a responsibility to clearly communicate science to the public, especially in emergencies. So I started to write summaries of Covid developments on facebook in March 2020 to help friends and family understand the situation as it unfolded. This is an archive of those posts (created much later).

    I also tracked the spread of alarming Covid variants for a few months at http://covidvarianttracking.com/ and mapped the consequences of faster variant spreading at https://tabsoft.co/2YwHCmZ.
