R is for Recession (maybe)

Q is for Quarantine: A Coronavirus Alphabet

It seems like economists have been arguing continuously for over two years now about whether there is or isn’t, will or won’t be, a recession. If my opinion counts for anything in the decision about having one or not, I’d like to vote for “isn’t” and “won’t be.”

Of course, national and global economies aside, many individuals certainly have had their own personal recessions due to the pandemic.

L is for Long-Hauler

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.
