Summary
Ridge 18937 got long COVID from a COVID infection their stepfather brought home in 2022, leaving them unable to learn, focus or retain information, and they dropped out of college and gave up on programming. Cognition reached about 65% of pre-illness over summer 2024, but a third infection in August 2024 returned them to their 2022 state or worse, with tinnitus, heart and lung issues and constant exhaustion.
