It’s been three years since I first got sick with long covid. That’s a lot of hash marks.
From Q is for Quarantine: A Coronavirus Alphabet
(I am STILL working on Q is for Quarantine…as always, just out of sheer stubbornness. I’m still here, so this book is going to exist.)

From the original post:
This wasn’t part of the original alphabet I created in April 2020, because “long-haul covid” or “long covid” were terms only just coming into existence then–but it certainly deserves a place in this collection.
One of the things that stood out to me, once I discovered other covid long-haulers, was that we were all keeping count of the days we had been ill. I stopped counting days at 100, and started counting months…and now, years. It has indeed been a long road.
