   If a total cure were found for COVID and Long COVID tomorrow, my life would not "go back to normal", because I would still have to deal with having seen how people have treated the vulnerable (including me) in this era, and how people have revealed themselves to be selfish, ignorant, and willing to bring harm to others.

   No medical cure can erase this horror, trauma and moral injury.

   I don't know how we will deal with this (ever).

     @ShaulaEvans I totally get this!

     My brother was diagnosed with ME/CFS in.. 1994/5 at age 14.

     My hope would be that more people would be aware now of discrimination and inequity because more people (like yourself) are aware of it happening.

     If long COVID was suddenly cured I'd hope many people who have been impacted by it would be more able to speak out about how vulnerable people are treated.

     It's not a problem that stemmed from COVID, it's heightened by mass illness.
