"The pandemic days of hoarding toilet paper and celebrating birthdays over Zoom
seem like a lifetime ago. While in many ways, life has long felt “back to
normal,” it’s important to acknowledge the millions of people whose lives were
forever impacted by COVID. Many lost loved ones to the virus, creating an
emptiness that is still very much felt.
While the rates of people being severely impacted by COVID have gone down
drastically since the dawn of the pandemic, it’s important to still take the
virus seriously. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, COVID was associated with an estimated 290,000 to 450,000
hospitalizations and between 34,000 and 53,000 deaths between July 2024 and
July 2025, the most recent year that data is available. These stats show just
how much the virus is still impacting us.
“COVID is still circulating and continues to cause illness, especially during
seasonal surges,” says Dr. Edmarie Guzmán-Vélez, PhD, a core member of the
Center for Healthy Aging Research at Rutgers Institute of Health and who
specializes in long COVID.
Something else that you might not know is that getting re-infected with COVID
can impact your health more than you may realize. If you’ve had COVID at least
once already, it’s important to understand how getting it again can affect you.
We talked to doctors about what they want everyone to know about getting COVID
again, including why it can be dangerous."
