Rarely does the press publish an article on long covid that tells it like it is. Here is one:

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

No matter how immortal we feel, we are all — still — at risk of developing crushing, life-altering symptoms.

@yaneerbaryam @whn Yes! And her conclusion is spot on for me:
“So how long am I going to do this? Until indoor air is safe for all, until vaccines prevent transmission, until there’s a cure for long covid. Until I’m not risking my family’s future on a grocery run. Because the truth is that however immortal we feel, we are all just one infection away from a new life.”
