Here's what people don't understand:
Long COVID isn't mild symptoms, lasting longer. It's COVID-induced dysregulation that prevents the mitochondria from doing their job. It's affecting millions, like me. Forcing former athletes to inactivity. The very definition of purgatory. Not dead, not living.

Day 1101—Harder to pull off when any activity—be it mental or physical—causes severe post-exertional malaise.
Whereas burning energy makes healthy people stronger, it literally makes us weaker—a little more disabled—every time.
Keep getting COVID, you will end up with #LongCOVID. There is no cure.

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.
That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.
One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.
This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products.
Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month.
This is corporate greed at its worst.

5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler.
He paid with his life.
