(5,164 posts)29. The rationing worries me
We know if it gets really bad we wont get the treatment prolly unless you are rich or have connections. I am getting my fourth shot this week and will get another in the fall if recommended then. I am so tired of this too. Also in ny but we have far less cases per 100,000 so far but who knows if many people who have it are even getting tested. We never stopped masking. N95 everywhere.
I agree with a lot of what he says but not that long covid is the main reason to keep masking. Stopping new variants, severe illness and deaths etc is imo. I have along covid, I just call it lh or damage from covid which seems chronic now. I hope it doesnt get any worse. My father had a lot more and more severe damage than me.
