Philip, Omicron’s relative rate of producing long Covid is significantly lower than Delta. However, Omicron is much more transmissible, leading to more numbers of people who contract the virus. This likely offsets.
As far as endemic is concerned, we’re headed in the right direction nationwide but it’s a slower process than I envisioned. We’re not there yet. I hope that the latest sub-variants don’t throw us for a loop.
Thanks Joshua. Let’s hope the downward trend continues.

Your no-hype southeastern New England weather blog!
Thanks TK.
With Covid numbers continuing to plummet, are we now getting into the “endemic” stage?
As for Long Covid, I heard on the radio this morning that experience is more likely with the Delta variant than the current Omicron.
Joshua, are both statements correct?
Oddly I had read yesterday that revisiting long Covid was due to omicron’s influence. I sure hope you are right
There is a lot of study going into long Covid and a mystery hepatitis in kids also.
This makes sense to me. Good discussion in the comments also
