If you’re temporarily abled - you have a chance to save yourself from a similar fate. You can wear a mask, filter & ventilate the air, test and isolate and take precautions to avoid repeated COVID infections. You can protect your health at all costs.

I’ve lost track of the number of people who’ve become chronically ill and only THEN come to me for advice. It’s always some variation of “I had no idea it was THIS bad or THIS hard to get help.” They want me to help them be the exception they were so sure they would be.

The problem is - very few people ARE the exception. Unless you’ve got a huge support network who can take time off work to care for you OR incredible wealth…you will have to learn to go without many things. Showers, food, cleaning your home…. Things will get sacrificed.

Even if you are the exception and you have all the support in the world - there’s no replacing your health. It’s not fun to be completely dependent on others for your basic needs - and people can and do grow resentful of having to help you.

There are no do-overs. So stop telling us we are wrong. Wanting to believe something is a certain way doesn’t make it true. I’ve had enough of denial. People are so determined to bring back 2019 that they’re throwing away their health & the health of those around them

If you become disabled - it’ll be too late. If we continue to ignore the risks of Long Covid - our systems will crumble faster & everyone will suffer. Protect the most vulnerable - care about the air we share - and we ALL benefit.
