I’d like to start off by saying this is an opinion piece. I’m not an epidemiologist. I’m simply sharing my concerns for Lyme and autoimmune patients in the face of a Covid19 pandemic.
Lyme patients – the lucky ones, at least – have already accepted that our governments are slow to respond, that even when we’ve technically qualified for testing, we haven’t qualified politically. Lyme patients have already had to accept that that our doctors can’t always help us, that our governments often take minimal accountability, that we have to be our own advocates. Hopefully, your history of Lyme has helped you speed up the process of acceptance for what is happening in the world today.
