"Breakthough covid" is typically a mild case that one can get after being fully vaccinated. Masha Gessen wrote about getting such a case for The New Yorker, and others have described it as well. It sounds like vaccination is not at all perfect immunity although it seems to be a reason that cases and deaths have declined in the United States and United Kingdom. In better news, vaccines are also showing an ability to improve the lives of those with "long covid"—enduring symptoms that have been known to stretch the illness out over months.
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
