#FosDem if you’re not masking you may end up with #LongCovid which is no joke.

In Feb 2022 I got COVID. In March I had to stop working because I couldn’t even focus long enough to make coffee let alone work.

By 2023 I found workarounds that enabled me to be a functioning parent and husband again.

In 2025 I found medication that enabled me to work and think again, but part time.

That is 4 years ago and I am not yet over Long Covid.

Mask Up
Wash hands
Use a CO2 meter as proxy for polluted air - stay under < 700 and you are probably safe indoors
If you’re sick stay away from events and people
