I'm slowly realising that I probably have some mild #LongCovid
Since having covid (now had it twice since 2022): iron deficiencies, breathing problems, constant asthma, and now a sudden allergy to some foods apparently.
My partner and I have been careful throughout the pandemic but clearly not careful enough at times (twice each) since "opening up".
And though it could be far far worse, I feel pretty violated right now TBH.
@maegul you might want to look at some of the presentation from #uniteToFight2024 when they get published on youtube next weeks. There's lots of info that might help you recognise and give info to take to your doctors @coronavirus@longcovid
I wasn’t looking for sympathy, just sharing an experience.
You have no idea what my background is or for what reasons I’ve been infected in the past.
What’s more you’re completely neglecting the importance of the social dimensions that lead to widespread infection of an airborn virus while trumping up absolute individualism as the sole basis of responsibility and blame.
All of which is a rather flawed outlook IMO, along with a poor demeanour TBH.
@maegul@tobi82@coronavirus@longcovid “Hit by a drunken driver while using the crosswalk? Looks like the just deserts of carelessness to me, because I’ve never been hit by a car.” Do people get how they sound?
There’s a world of difference between napping in the crosswalk and needing to use it to get to work, but when there’s social license for drunk drivers, you don’t have to be lingering there to get hit.
Well yea. The responsibilities we take for our actions are obviously important (and should be addressed more IMO), but blaming the sick for not protecting themselves rather than focusing on those negligent in preventing infection and in not taking care of others … is a choice.
@coronavirus@longcovid@maegul@tobi82 You need to STFU, “objector.” How the fuck can you pretend that every single person who got COVID did so because they weren’t careful?
