Christians with #LongCOVID and those still taking COVID-19 precautions feel abandoned by their religious institutions. In a Sick Times survey, the majority of respondents reported their churches are failing to acknowledge Long COVID. Some are creating their own spaces in response. bit.ly/4dRQZn7

but this semester
she has masked alone,

A friend who did not realize her driver's license had expired until she got to TSA (and who did not have her passport) was able to use her Costco ID to fly instead. So putting it with your ID is valid!
