“Mild” COVID, Long Hauling, & The Holidays.

It was the end of February, COVID was new on the horizon, yet distant for me in the Southwest. New York and Seattle had a few cases, but nothing overly concerning yet. I lived so far away from either of those locations it was something I thought about, but only a little.

I still went to stores and friends’ houses, even out to eat. Though as the news from New York City and Seattle grew I had begun limiting the number of public places I would go.

It felt big, bigger than the flu.
