So many folks are sick again so I share this with love: you must rest. Rest won’t guarantee you don’t get long covid but it’s a huge mitigator. Even if you have an accute mild case. Even if you don’t feel it at all. Send this to your boss. Make your partner clean or use disposable dishes etc.
Why You Should Rest—a Lot—If You Have COVID-19
It could help prevent Long COVID

The window display from the oldest bookstore in Paris, Shakespeare & Company, where you can climb some old stairs to a reading room with lots of nooks and crannies and a teenager playing the piano (very well!) while Parisians sit and read.
