I sincerely hope they dodge long COVID and related consequences like increased risk of childhood diabetes.

I also hope the collective we makes progress on understanding the nature of long COVID and can find a strategy for mitigating its consequences. Anecdotal accounts of the bewildering and depressing range of affects it is having on some people (last estimate I saw, 30% of cases, but that's pre-omicron AFAIK) make me very much wish to avoid omicron, and keep my kids free of it if possible (very unlikely given our collective decision in the US that it is now "endemic.")

One issue with long covid investigation is that it's often poorly defined. A person with anxiety three months after a covid case might be said to have long covid. It's worth figuring out what portion of the population has anxiety, covid infection or not.
