I caught Covid two weeks ago, a few days after my daughter and granddaughter caught it. It spread to my son and partner. I am fortunate to have received Paxlovid early on, but it was still a crappy experience. My partner and son took longer than I did to recover, but were all still experiencing fatigue and other symptoms like coughing. I returned to work this week, and I’m lucky that my boss and coworkers are very compassionate and understanding. This toxic work ethic is totally internalized ableism and capitalism. It sucks.

Spread the joy:
