   This piece makes a great argument that we can't really consider the pandemic over because millions are suffering from Long COVID. Sadly the Post's editors undermined it by removing the original title “I have long covid. For the millions like me, the pandemic isn’t over,” and categorizing the piece as "post pandemic."

     “So how long am I going to do this? Until indoor air is safe for all, until vaccines prevent transmission, until there’s a cure for long covid. Until I’m not risking my family’s future on a grocery run. The truth is that however immortal we feel, we are all just one infection away from a new life.”

     Please read this key piece by Madeline Miller. The pandemic isn’t over until we can prevent Long COVID. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/09/madeline-miller-long-covid-post-pandemic/
