Among my group of close #LongCovid friends, things have been and are progressing. Not in a good way. Three years ago we would gather, share our issues (which were profound and frightening) but also share our life stories and loads of laughter. Over the years, the amount of time most of us can speak has lessened. Dramatically. The same holds true for listening. Comprehension is slipping noticeably. We have a dead friend. We miss her. We have a friend who hasn't been able to participate at all for nearly a year. We miss her. We have borne witness to each other's new terrifying issues and decline. Once again, you don't want this. Not for you, not for your kids or elderly parents, not for your colleagues or community. There are no approved treatments, no promising research that I can see, but there is loads of gaslighting and denial and abandonment. Please be careful. Especially for the kids who have no agency in any of this tragedy.
