"I'd seen a lot of writing about living alone during the pandemic and I felt the weight of that. Now the power is out and there's nothing - no sound, no light, not even heat. And I'm left only w/thoughts of a federal and state government that has failed us on every level."

Theres no words that can describe the complete alienation of having severe long covid. One infection, caused directly by political decisions to remove public measures, and i cant walk. Can't stand except on really good days which are getting rarer. Sitting is a privilege i dont always have. Cognitive work is too much of a risk to consider for the moment. I live in constant fear of going back to being utterly bed ridden in the sense that i cant even feed myself, drink water, speak, move my limbs beyong my fingers and toes. For days and days without relief.

Nothing feels real. Every gain can be lost in a literal second. And on top of this, the fear of reinfection. The very real possibility of death, given how weak a single infection has made me when I was healthy and young. The even more real possibility of a worsened state, where there are no good days. That means death, too. If i am constantly in a state where I cannot move, i am going to have to resort to euthanasia because it is not a bearable existence. I can barely tolerate it when it know it will end. Last time was 14 days and I am still so traumatized by it 2 months later nothing feels real.

And on top of that, i am being told that my life doesnt matter. Covid is not a real concern. Let it fester. Even if the stairs in my building didnt lock me in, all public spaces have become lethal to me. I cant see my friends because they cant avoid exposure when theres a wave. To love me, you must live in a horrific world where no matter how many precautions you take, no matter how much they ostracize you, you might still cause my death.

Covid is a privileged issue they say. Im not even in the room for it bc i cannot be in the room. You can move your body, youre not afraid of death, you havent lost everything that makes you *you*, but im the privileged one. I cant even emote the way i used to. If i get too excited, too happy, i cant move. I talked to countless people who cant work anymore, are losing their jobs their houses their partners their immigration permits but no. Covid doesnt matter. I dont matter. Everyone cheered when i got covid bc they got to party for new years eve. I hope it was a good party. I will never agree that it was worth my life.

For the past 2 years ive had to share classrooms with students and professors who know everything about my story, who have seen how disabled i am by long covid, who ive begged to mask. They all refuse to mask. And i have to sit there and pretend its not a cosmical level farce that theyre talking about social justice and ethics and just what good people they all are. Not to mention that most of them have revealed themselves to be zionists. I have to sit next to an iof soldier and act as if its ok that she gets to sit in this classroom, except im not even sitting in the room because cases are too high and im too weak to be there physically anyway, so im on zoom. At least i get to remove my earbuds when she speaks so i dont have to think about the atrocities she has committed.

Governments are failing us. Worldwide.

Most people have NO CLUE about the implications of getting covid multiple times. It doesn't matter if you got a mild infection. There's even the case of getting asymptomatic infections as your body silently suffers the accumulating consequences. Governments are not doing their part to mandate public health departments to spread information, AND so many more people are distrustworthy of sources of information that used to be well-trusted for YEARS! We need a total communication overhaul.

The fact is that covid causes organ damage and affects every part of your body. You're rolling the dice each time you catch it. And since there aren't accurate tests available publicly anymore (possibly region-dependent), you can't tell if you caught a regular cold, RSV, influenza, or covid. Covid having the highest transmission should be a clue as to what it usually is that you're catching, though. It's better to be safe than sorry, and to mask in public indoor settings and avoid super crowded places.

I don't think people know what long covid can entail, and that's frightening. IT'S frightening. If you get ME/CFS (Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), your body literally progressively loses the ability to bounce back from any exertion. Mitochondrial dysfunction. If you've heard the popular quote "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell", well, what happens when the powerhouse shuts down? You gradually become out of breath from the simplest things. If not out of breath, just total bodily fatigue, as if you did so much more than you just did. I've seen a woman say that 1 single shower knocks her out for 3 days. By the way, this isn't unheard of for SARS viruses. SARS-COV-1 from 2002-2004 caused ME/CFS in people but not as many people heard about it. More and more are getting it every day right now, and their voices are crying out in online spheres.

We need more awareness for this disabling virus that world leaders are subjecting us to. Full stop.

wild that the first thing i get told when going in to a medical office is "you don't have to wear a mask"

as if I'm wearing a n95 respirator mask because "what if I have to" and not because I care about my health?

Another article discussing the cognitive effects of COVID.

I just want to remind people that it’s 2024 and we didn’t “go thru a pandemic” we are “going thru a pandemic” present tense. It is still happening. People are still get sick, still becoming disabled, and still dying. Covid hasn’t gone away and I beg people to not normalize getting sick with it.

the "new normal" couldve been respirators & rapid tests & hepa filters & universal basic income & accessibility & caring about other people.........

So the above post is an edited/faked article, and once again republicans are accusing others of the things they did themselves. Dr. Birx never said this, but she did come forward to say that Trump ignored the science and created/reported “data” that came out of nowhere.

We can’t forget about this bitch. Fauci lied, people died - true. This lady had a hand in the killings, too. She deserves a noose right next to her colleague Fauci.

The bad news: Stevie Nicks is over 70 even though my mental image of her is in her forties (what do you mean the 1980s wasn't a couple of decades ago) The good news: she's still a queen.
