"Rising Long COVID Cases and Vulnerable Occupations: New Data and Research Findings"

Long COVID cases have surged, with about 17.4% of surveyed individuals experiencing long COVID in February, up from 14-15% in previous months. The rise is attributed to a spike in winter holiday infections, declining masking and prevention measures, repeat infections, and vaccine apathy. Wastewater monitoring has been a reliable indicator of infection rates, showing a substantial rise in viral levels. Experts emphasize the need for increased vaccination, booster uptake, and antiviral use to combat the surge in long COVID cases.

Lafayette Students Sent Home Due to Vaccine Apathy

Over 200 students in Lafayette, Indiana, were sent home from school for not being up to date on their vaccinations, as local school corporations are now enforcing vaccine requirements more strictly. County Health Officer Dr. Greg Loomis attributes the issue to "vaccine apathy" rather than denial, as vaccination rates in the area are significantly lower than the statewide average. Concerns are raised about the potential loss of herd immunity. Administrators had sent letters and reminder emails to parents before excluding their children from school.
