    Is she “ok” now? The last I knew she was completely incapacitated and couldn’t get out of bed. One hell of “long covid” case… :(

      That video is a really hard watch. If you’ve ever been in either of their positions taking care of a family member full time or relying on someone, you know the tremendous amount of love involved in it. Usually you see it as an afterthought, but what was amazing about Destin’s video is seeing it happen in real time.

      I have one of the conditions some doctors suspect is the root cause of long COVID, mast cell activation disorder, and it absolutely sucks ass if it’s uncontrolled. It can make for some amazing naps, but they get old when it’s all you can do.

      I’m fine’ish now, although I guzzle the contents of a small pharmacy every month.

      I.didnt know her at all before this comment chain.

      But it is interesting.

      By big fear short of everyone dying in covid was these symptoms would be far more widespread.

      Everyone seems to have forgotten about covid now

      Her Instagram is kept fairly up to date. She is still confined to a bed, and it sounds like she still requires round-the-clock care. Her partner and family are absolute heroes.

        I used the quotes because seeing her condition before I can’t imagine she’s going to be 100% better. I just meant to ask if her condition improved at all that she would be able to make another video knowing that ok isn’t going to mean perfectly healthy. The long covid quotation was just because that’s what we call it colloquially but I don’t think that’s a real diagnosis. I’m not a covid denyer or anything lol

        Seeing another comment though I see the video being discussed was before she got sick.

          Long covid is just a common name for a collection of post viral sequelae caused by the virus. It’s not a single disease.
