Optiоnаl up tо 2 pоints of extrа credit: Shown is the cumulаtive risk and burden of sequelae in populations infected one or more times with SARS-CoV-2 compared with uninfected controls from a study of 5,819,264 people (Acute and postacute sequelae associated with SARS-CoV-2 reinfection, Bowe, Xie & Ziyad Al-Aly, Nature Medicine volume 28, pages 2398–2405 (2022)). Data for multiple outcomes is visualized as the hazard ratio (HR) and excess burden per 1,000 persons for one, two, and three or more infections compared to uninfected controls. Outcomes (starting from top left and ranging to bottom left) include hospitalization, at least one sequela, cardiovascular, coagulation and hematological, diabetes, fatigue, gastrointestinal, kidney, mental health, musculoskeletal, neurological, and pulmonary.

Include information and descriptions from the graph to support your explanation. 2. Propose an explanation as to what the virus might be doing to result in this trend. 3. Comment briefly on the sample size of this study - should this sample size give us confidence in this work? Why or why not? 4. Considering the excess burden bar graphs to the right, what might be the impact of this information on the healthcare system in the U.S.?
