Thank you for this. Not only for sufferers of long covid, but immunocompromised folks there are many practical considerations we should be making. If you've never known someone who has suffered from either, you're likely unfamiliar with how devastating it can be to someone's life and how much it restricts what these folks can do. Spreading knowledge like this is essential to making the world a more accessible place for them.
