Video I saw a month or so ago, but this is the only nearish-term hope and it likely wouldn't be available till late 2023 anyway. Phase 2 trials begin this summer:

Tracking long COVID in the blood – DW – 02/04/2022

A lot of people who catch the coronavirus remain ill for an extended period. An estimated 10-40% will later suffer from long COVID-10. A team of researchers believe they've found a reason for the condition — and a potential treatment as well.

The mask mandate lifted only a few days ago and the second it was down every bit of signage and signs of anyone wearing masks has completely gone. My anecdote from rural BC
 
~15-20% of the pop infected per wave, 4 waves per year. Maybe 3 months of solid variant-matching immunity with omicron if lucky (clearly not as immunogenic as previous variants)... And uhhh we're all susceptible to multiple infections per year. Not sustainable. Will be tough to get to even summer of 2020 levels of transmission. Didn't realize how good we had it at the time! The mass disabling event continues.

I am imaging the absolute bedlam that the past two years would have been without vaccinations. And it is insane!

I remember earlier on assuming that we would only really be starting vaccines now. Still crazy how much faster they got them out, and while the virus is doing its best to keep pace, I can't imagine what it would be like without vaccines.
