I'll mention again that I got covid in 2022 despite masking, and it hecked up my body for the next full year before I started getting a little better. Too many symptoms to write about in 500 characters.
The longest lasting symptoms are lethargy, and until mid last year, I was getting sick every six or so weeks, usually a cough and sore throat. Fortunately I haven't been getting sick recently.

I wear a KN95 when out. It's not obstructive. When people ask me about it, and I tell them about long covid, they're disinterested. In the first class of courses, I explain to students how long covid affected me, talk about community responsibility, and then offer masks every class, and no one takes any. When rock climbing and someone asks, sometimes I just say it's to block chalk, and they're amazed, like, "wow, I should try that." I don't understand.
