Ah, fuck. You did your best, and your caution helped you get to this point in the pandemic, when 1) mitigation tools like Paxlovid are available, 2) the current variant causes a lower rate of Long Covid, and 3) hospitals aren’t overwhelmed like they were early on.

I know you know the outcome of my first/only infection from last year, which was/is Long Covid. But I’m constantly grateful for the things I listed above, because if Paxlovid and hospital availability hadn’t been true, I probably would have died rather than simply getting more disabled. We did good, both for ourselves and for others, by making it as far as we did before finally getting caught by this incredibly transmissible illness.

Long Covid rates are a lot lower than they used to be, and I sincerely hope you pull through without serious sequelae. <3
