Some days I feel as if I am surrounded by way too many people who have read those fantasy novels where the magic only needs people to believe something for it to become real because, obviously, a solid majority of the people walking around believe the pandemic is over. Meanwhile, I am reading about researchers styding long Covid and people talking about how it is affecting them, which sounds very similar to how having an autoimmune disease affects me on a daily basis, and I feel like giving healthy people a mass smack in the back of the head saying, Don't take chances fucking up your body for the rest of yoru life.
