After catching Covid three times while fully vaccinated, the last two not so horrible as the first where I was bedridden for four weeks, I have long covid.

People NEED to understand Covid damages the system even in mild cases because it's not necessarily about only surviving the first case. Viruses work quietly, too.

The only way to prevent long covid is to prevent covid infection. I know we're collectively traumatized by the pandemic. That doesn't mean we shouldn't mask. Please mask.

@anarchademic I know someone who's unvaccinated and said that over and over again. Then covid sent them into a hypertensive crisis after day 4 and they almost died. They had higher BP before but it pushed it over. 🙃
