Resumen

By the end of 2023, it appeared that SARS-CoV-2 was being controlled, although its JN.1 variant was infecting more easily, with hospitalizations of older adults and the unvaccinated, but few deaths. Now some light is emerging on Long COVID, how the sequelae affect vital organs and why they persist in a significant number of people. Unfortunately, the brain is one of the most affected organs. Hence, the need for vaccines. We consider this update important as we begin 2024, recognizing the work of Eric Topol as a science communicator who provides a variety of information on what is happening with SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. Regarding what we have learned, apart from preparing ourselves for future pandemics, we consider it important to avoid loneliness, seek emotional support, practice virtuality and telemedicine, be creative, wash our hands, use masks to protect us from airborne pathogens and support vaccines.
