Is anyone studying whether there is any correlation between a prior Covid infection (mild or otherwise, vaccinated or not) with a statistically relevant increased susceptibility to future infections, like strep, and such?? They should be studying this.

Why are you coming in with the assumption that there's a link? What evidence do we have to even suggest such possibility?
Do you know that COVID is caused by a virus while strep is caused by bacteria? Do you understand that COVID is respiratory infection while strep could infect any tissue in the body?

It is genuinely horrific to see how quickly this infection can go from mild flu like symptoms to life threatening.
