A month after having COVID-19, Jamie Waddell felt weak after walking a short distance. She thought she hadn't recovered. She had no idea her heart was failing.
on the one hand, i am extremely thankful that 1) she is recovering and 2) this made national news
but i am absolutely terrified that if she hadn't been a white woman, hadn't had good insurance, hadn't had the ability to take off work then we never would've known. and that means this has definitely happened to people who were not privileged enough to receive support to recover.
