I didn't watch her channel, but this is a very detailed write-up about someone's experience with very extreme long covid. I wish we were doing more to find treatments for people suffering.

I resonate hard with that and what I'm watching people in my life do. I could see taking a risk for a major opportunity for your life's passion or something, but risking your fucking health for like bar trivia and Olive Garden or whatever blows me away.
I have a strong suspicion that covid brain damage fucked with a lot of people's ability for delaying gratification and risk assessment. Ya know, in addition what this capitalist hellscape already does.
It also probably doesn't help that doing risk assessment on the habits and things that you base your life and identity around require a level of self-reflection that this hellscape greatly discourages in favor of consumption.
Yeah, like when I got married, I threw caution out the window so that we could enjoy a little party with our close friends/family. However, I’m not going to bars and restaurants, I’m not going to clubs and movie theaters. Hell, I barely go to the food store as long as I can get shit delivered to my front door.
My wife and I have actually had a similar conversation about COVID brain and exactly what you mentioned. People in America at least seem to be on a revenge tour to do as much of whatever they want as possible because they felt slighted by the pandemic. I understand yearning to get back to the things you enjoy, but I can’t understand the complete disregard of the past 4 years in the face of good vibes…
I’m also an outlier in that I enjoy my house, partner, and kitties more than I enjoy the public. I am pretty content with my homebody lifestyle.
