I’m slowly realising that I probably have some mild #LongCovid

Since having covid (now had it twice since 2022): iron deficiencies, breathing problems, constant asthma, and now a sudden allergy to some foods apparently.

My partner and I have been careful throughout the pandemic but clearly not careful enough at times (twice each) since “opening up”.

And though it could be far far worse, I feel pretty violated right now TBH.

    @maegul @tobi82 @coronavirus @longcovid “Hit by a drunken driver while using the crosswalk? Looks like the just deserts of carelessness to me, because *I’ve* never been hit by a car.” Do people get how they sound?

    There’s a world of difference between napping in the crosswalk and needing to use it to get to work, but when there’s social license for drunk drivers, you don’t have to be lingering there to get hit.

      Well yea. The responsibilities we take for our actions are obviously important (and should be addressed more IMO), but blaming the sick for not protecting themselves rather than focusing on those negligent in preventing infection and in not taking care of others … is a choice.
