Drawing parallels to how he was treated (socially) when seeking treatment (medically) for Lyme helped me wring an extra year of Covid caution out of my dad when he was “done” with it.

Gonna try to hold that.

ALSO.
If you're just coming across this news now, and thinking about what you can do to support disabled people like Alice in your community.

WEAR A MASK.
