If you're traveling or seeing friends and family, do a little to protect yourself and them!
Studies published the past week:
STUDY: Non-hospitalized COVID-positive patients had a 47 to 56% higher risk of various thyroid diseases. Hospitalized patients risks were higher: 2 to 2.3x higher. (COVID damages thyroids!)

Persistent risk of neurological and psychiatric conditions in COVID-19 survivors up to 4 years post-infection. Dementia was nearly 4x higher among COVID-19 cohort compared to the control cohort. Five neurological and psychiatric outcomes had odds ratios (OR) significantly higher than 1 for people who had COVID-19: cognitive deficit, nerve plexus disorder, substance use disorder, mood disorder, and anxiety disorder. (COVID damages brains!)

COVID-19 infection was associated with significantly increased hypertension incidence. (COVID damages cardiovascular system!)
https://academic.oup.com/aje/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaf283/8385313?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=falseSurely, taking just a bit of care, such as putting on a mask while traveling or skipping a crowded event, is worth protecting yourself and those you love this holiday season.
