I am so sick of the mental energy of always having to think about protecting myself from COVID. Always assessing risks, always having to be the one person in the room wearing a mask, or having to explain why I am doing or not doing things.

I think many people don't realise how quickly illness can set off a cascade of often irreversible events. If I catch COVID, there is a 1 in 10 chance of long COVID. If that affects me badly enough, I lose my ability to work. Without work, I lose the roof over my head. (1/2)
