Me to mammogram tech: I need you to wear your mask (around your neck). I am
immunocompromised.
Tech: But you have a mask on?
Me: I need us both to mask. I cannot get sick.
Tech: Well maybe you shouldn’t have come in then…
🙄 Really?!
Reminder: the decision by the Biden administration to “end the pandemic” was based on political strategy (not science), with the goal of winning the 2024 election. ineteconomics.org/perspectives/b…
Every time I attend a networking event and share I have LC, at least one person I meet tells me their family member/co-worker/close friend/etc also has LC. EVERY TIME.
My cat became suddenly terminally ill in Feb 2022 around the same time I had a quick and steep decline in Jan 2022 which I suspect was a reinfection during omicron. She died that May. I asked the vet whether it might be C19 related. The vet said “cats don’t get C19” 🙄
Turns out cats can get a post-viral illness from a coronavirus that is similar to long COVID & causes immune exhaustion
Is anyone gaslighting these cats & telling them they are making up their symptoms?

“[T]he eldest Affleck child wore a shirt that read ‘CURE LONG COVID.’ The shirt is from a brand called Berlin Buyers Club, described on its website as ‘a small group of skilled creatives doing what we can under very constrained circumstances after [C19] made us chronically ill.’”
Violet Affleck wore a shirt with a message about COVID while out in the Hamptons with Jennifer Lopez. If you’re going to get photographed, you might as well advocate for a good cause at the same time. trib.al/5q1t9df
I’m traveling & staying in a rural spot. Checking in (masked), I had to explain C19 precautions I would need & why. I was afraid they might not know what LC was or give me side eye.
Instead, “oh my mom has LC. The medical gaslighting is terrible. I’m so sorry.” #TreatLongCovid
