The pandemic is still real. The pandemic still ongoing. I am still clinically vulnerable. These facts are not affected by anybody's views or feelings.
[here I inserted updates about my medical situation, including the fact that I’m now taking immune-suppressing medication]
Strict adherence to our COVID safety protocol continues to be an absolute necessity -- not only because of my desire to avoid further disablement, but also because of my desire to live.
I very much want to remain alive.
