We’re back to mandatory N95s in the hospital and y’all out here literally singing about being able to cough on each other on planes. I’m so goddamn tired.
Next week, I'd like to open up the @FacesOfCOVID platform to folks who wish to share their experiences being impacted by Long COVID.
If you have a story you'd like to share, shoot me a DM and I can provide you with the newly created submission form to do so. Thank you!
