Covid 19 always bringing us new and terrifying things. Thanks Trump for fucking us all over and allowing this to run rampant through our country. So far its killed my grandmother (not big lost there she was a horrible person who loved trump) and now my best friend after almost 5 years since he first got it. I even gotten it once and I was vaxxed three times (I made sure to get my boosters). But unfortunately I'm uninsured and unable to get a updated one now.

That's my rant but goddammit we about have RKJ in charge of America Healthcare and I fear this going get worse before the year is out.

Yep, killed my mother, permanently disabled me into being bedridden and tubefed. And I was 4x Vaxxed.

Sorry to hear that and sorry for your loss. I hope we all make it through the next four years. But I fear another pandemic coming. Think the universe is saying it doesn't want trump in charge and trying wipe out his followers. Unfortunately its taking some of us with them.

Very sorry for your troubles and your loss. Would you mind elaborating on what happened with your condition?

Got very severe ME/CFS which is a subtype of long COVID.

This semi-personal page, written by the son of the leading stanford researcher on the illness, the son being severly ill with it himself, explains it well I think: https://www.whitneydafoe.com/mecfs/whatismecfs/

ME/CFS isn't a subtype of Long Covid. If anything, Long Covid is a subtype of ME. But anyway, they are basically the same condition.

You can also thank Biden for declaring the pandemic over so big business could rake in more profits. There are no innocent politicians when it comes to covid.
