I really wish all the people who decided to pretend that the pandemic is over would read this and finally understand what is at stake

That was crushing. "More than three years later, I still have long covid."

I'm on year two and was praying this ended with her getting her breath back. 😮‍💨

I used to work in construction, keep hoping the next week I'll be able to go back. Man that's disheartening.

Some people get better, some people get worse. Some get better but then get infected again and relapse. This is some tough shit. My long covid is relatively mild, compared to what others have. I am on year 1, after getting omicron. I hope they find a cure, I hope people stop pretending this is over and no more people get infected and die. I wish the pandemic would end. One can dream, right?
