Dr. Michael "Being Covid-conscious is more than precautions and research. It’s grieving losses no one else will acknowledge, enduring mockery, protecting people who resent you, showing up for community the world says doesn’t matter, and fighting for a future others already declared lost." "Some call being Covid-conscious "virture signaling" but that would entail praise, not ridicule and neglect." Source:

I have long Covid. Don’t call my chronic disease a ‘journey’ Peter Swenson, a Yale professor and one of about 20 million Americans with long COVID, says calling chronic illness a “journey” needs to stop.
