We appreciate Sophia Bush using her platform to share her experience with Long Covid, and requesting that everyone help support by simply wearing a mask! 😷❤️

Guys...it's wild to me that when I share basic public health protocols-from doctors-people immediately want to jump in with opinions rooted in flat out misinformation. Covid is NOT a flu. It's a serious virus that causes incredible damage to the body, and can often have lasting, debilitating effects. This summer I had to leave a job for the first time in my entire life because my post-viral syndrome was so bad that I thought I was going to die and my doctors forced me to stop working and actually recuperate. I spent almost three months in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices and specialist clinics in England ans the US (so thankful for my union healthcare here at home @sagaftra) and I'm so lucky that I made a full recovery (I'm now on a medication that I never had to take before, maybe forever, but I'm so fucking lucky to be healthy again) And after that ordeal, it's not lost on me that so many folks around the world who've gotten sick since the pandemic broke out are NOT so lucky

People who are immune compromised. Folks who are now chronically ill, post-infection, who may never recover. People who can't work or care for their families. People whose immune systems have been so broken down by this virus that they're getting other illness diagnoses that will change their lives. It's not a joke. And knowing all of this, you really wanna yell and send wildly rude messages about wearing a fucking mask? Miss me with all of that. It's not hard. It's not some huge inconvenience. It's a literal act of BOTH self-preservation and community care. So if you love your neighbors? Your coworkers? Your families? Maybe...act like it? I think we can all take a breath and be a little kinder to each other. We can all take a moment and choose to care for each other. It makes a difference. The world is so hard for so many people. There is so much suffering everywhere. And this is something we can all do try and prevent some more of it. If we all tried to make it just a little easier?

That is actually really well said
