Might be the most depressing thread I've read this week (so far) 🖤 and the pmdd is hitting just right 🫠

If I die young, it was Covid.

"Is anyone else's immune system totally shot since the 'COVID era'?"

Thread. Lots of informed comments, surprisingly.

The answer is yes: lots of peoples' immune systems are totally shot because that's what COVID does: attacks your entire body / vascular system / brain. It is not only respiratory. Long COVID is also a major issue with no reliable treatment.

And the idea that one should "exercise" their immune system by getting sick more is false, a misunderstanding of how immunity works.

Did you read the NPR article "Wrestling with my husband's fear of getting COVID again" ? Very upsetting piece 😢. I highly recommend Julia Doubleday's compassionate response to that atrocious 🤦take. Anyone else have a similar situation in their household?

my problem is i am a girl who likes the idea of doing so many things but in reality only has the energy to daydream about doing those things rather than actually doing them
