"Four years after that surreal, world-altering spring of 2020, almost
everything has gone back to normal. On the surface, anyway. Restaurants and
subways are packed, schools and offices are open, few people are masking, and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has dropped its isolation
guidelines.
But there is still a pandemic, and nearly 1,000 people are still dying from
COVID-19 weekly in the United States, according to data from the World Health
Organization via KFF. At least 17.5 million adults are currently living with
long COVID, according to the most recent Household Census Pulse Survey. And
there are new studies coming out all the time about the long-term damage even a
mild infection can do to the body.
For those still trying to actively avoid getting COVID-19, like Forest
McDonald, a musician and teacher in Brooklyn, New York, it’s getting
increasingly difficult, and expensive."
