Less than a month from the 5th anniversary of the encounter that would change my life. A grab & hold, a shake, a violent cough that sent my health into what I suspect will be a lifelong tailspin. A young man trying on his bravado not realizing the permanent damage left in its wake. Mask Up!

Just going to repeat that my initial covid infection was mild. I did not get acutely ill & have a long recovery. I got sick & kept getting sicker. It was six weeks until my neurological symptoms got bad, about 3 months for allergies & 5 months for cardiac issues.

I keep seeing folks posting about things hitting different after 25, 30, 35 & my loves, that’s not getting older it’s COVID. You should be running around taking life for granted at these ages. COVID did that to you, not aging, COVID & your governments are stealing your youth.

Used to work 12 hour shifts on my feet in a burning hot kitchen and deadlift full kegs of beer in an ice cold walk-in and still got taken down by an invisible airborne virus. Push ups won’t save you. Wear a mask & get to know your neighbours.

Hey, yes, all of this sucks and it's overwhelming that we are being pummeled with ridiculous and unbelievable awful news every 3 minutes right now and a lot of bad stuff is happening! But that's also the point! They want everyone to be too overwhelmed and disoriented to speak up. Do not lose hope!

StopRFKjr.com is a simple link you can send to your friends, family, colleagues that makes it incredibly easy for them to call their U.S. Senators and tell them to oppose the disastrous nomination of RFK Jr to run all federal health programs. Please share StopRFKjr.com as widely as you can

"We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours." -RFK Jr. Sounds shocking until you realize that modern medicine still treats Black people’s lung & kidney function differently than every other race.

A dentist I know, now retired, has, after 3 years of Long Covid developed a new condition where large strips of his gums slough off when he eats anything harder than baby food. LC is not lingering symptoms but an on going assault on every system in the body. Mask tf up.

I don’t think folks understand what it does to a person forced to live in unsafe and/or precarious housing. There is no peace, no rest, just 24 hour fight or flight with no one to battle but yourself. The constant state of fear has made it difficult to carry out the smallest tasks…
