I told her about the hearing on Long COVID yesterday—she had no idea. Told her the rate of long COVID in people who get it—she had no idea. She’s always thought my extreme caution was just health anxiety, but now, unfortunately, she knows it was for good reason. That so few people know the true risk of COVID is criminal.

Buffy the Psych Prof (drpsybuffy@mstdn.social)'s status on Saturday, 20-Jan-2024 09:45:53 JST Buffy the Psych Prof Saw a friend today who got COVID in late November. She is having tachycardia when she lays down and she also constantly has a sensation that her lungs are being squeezed. She is now on albuterol treatments and oral steroids. Sje is falling asleep by 7:00 every night. This is a woman who has been a powerhouse of energy since the day I met her. She looked straight at me today and said, “I was healthy before COVID.”
