@DSEDunn I already wrote a complaint when I saw masks are not worn on the oncology ward few weeks ago, same hospital. They don’t do anything about it. This is the new normal. The pandemic is ‘over’ and the policy is no masks. I think the media wouldn’t make anything of it.

LC brain fog means brain inflammation which leads to cognitive and physical disability. POTS means not being able to stand or sit up for a longer period. The combination of POTS and brain fog => a strongly reduced quality of life. #LongCovid is not a bit of fatigue.
