With COVID, my reference was not to increased risk of heart disease. It was permanent damage to the heart. Permanent damage is not risk of. It's actual damage.
Y'all seem to have trouble with some words, like "common" and "risk of" and "temporary" and "up to". Like, if I post something, you pretend I post in absolutes.
It's kinda weird. And kinda creepy.
And if you're going to go out of your way to actually quote a source, you might consider citing it so that everyone can check it for context.

I also think it is "creepy" when folks post as if they are experts and they were only stating their opinion. It makes it somewhat easier to separate the experts from those with opinions, when they mention that it is their opinion. Is it really "creepy" when someone comments on a person's post on the premise that we are having a discussion?
I usually reserve "creepy" for Halloween, and that is a distant week ago.
