So weird to care about your own health and the health of your community
“On the one hand Hyde’s Covid caution is personal — he’s not keen on ending up with long Covid and doesn’t want his family getting sick — and on the other hand it’s professional, with pregnant women and newborn babies particularly vulnerable to picking up infections”. So weird 🤔

Today, I travelled back in time, to the pre polio vaccine era
I closed my eyes, imagined being paralyzed… unable to breathe
I imagined being stuck in this claustrophobic iron lung, to breathe
Maybe we all need to time travel, to appreciate how science & public health saves us, every day.
