Who appears to be commenting on social behaviour in that article. Crazy, I know.

Long Covid 'not going to be trivial'
He said that over the next 12 months “a lot” of focus will be “around dealing with the next wave” and a “quite difficult winter” for the NHS. There will “almost certainly be a Covid surge, and that'll be on top of a return to a more normal respiratory surge”.
He warned that he would be "surprised" if we returned to pre-pandemic normality before next spring, and raised particular concerns around how “we will get a significant amount more long Covid, particularly in the younger ages where the vaccination rates are currently much lower”.
He warned that “we're still in the foothills of our understanding” of long Covid, and it is “still to be proven” that those who are vaccinated do not get it. He said keeping Covid rates down and making sure everyone is vaccinated were the two ways to prevent the condition, and added: "We don't know how much of an issue it’s going to be but I think we should assume it's not going to be trivial.”
