I have empathy for people who are “done with Covid.” Having a chronic illness teaches you eventually that the illness doesn’t give one single shit if you are done with it. Before you learn that, you go slightly crazy (or I certainly did, hello anxiety diagnosis.)
People with long Covid are unfortunately learning the lesson no one wants to learn. And more are going to join them, because they’re “done with Covid.”
It’s so hard to express nuance online. It’s ok to feel grief and anger that our lives have been changed and we’ve all lost years, it’s ok to say I hate this and I want it to stop. But you can’t make it stop, certainly not by demanding we all ignore it. Illnesses do not care.
This empathy doesn’t apply to Bari Weiss though. She just seems to like firestarting whatever bullshit “libertarian” cause is popular this week.
