Why You Should Rest—a Lot—If You Have COVID-19 It could help prevent Long COVID

Your reminder that self care, *genuine* self care not capitalist ideals of self care, is a radical act of resistance.

Allowing yourself time to rest, recover, and take care of yourself is the exact opposite of what this hellscape wants. It wants you exhausted and too weary to ~

This seems to be the latest trend, dammit. Maybe we should all just stay in bed eating chocolate and reading trashy novels until it passes?
