A couple months ago, I tweeted, “i want a girl with a short skirt and lonnnnggggg covid.”
It was a moderately funny tweet. I felt guilty about it — though not guilty enough for me to delete it — because I know long COVID is real. I know someone who has it. I see the way it impacts their ability to live and work. It’s awful, and I don’t want to add to the voices trying to diminish it.
