[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will always be scumbags who take advantage. But long covid is real, and many do legitimately suffer.[/quote] Who are you to call her a name and say she's "taking advantage."[/quote] If she's playing tennis and enjoying overseas vacations (Italy requires a lot of walking), there is no way she is actually disabled.[/quote] My mother was able to walk long distances for the first 40 years of her Multiple Sclerosis. Her legs worked robustly until her 60s, but she hasn't had the full use of her arms and hands for decades. She cannot sign her name to any document, which has posed serious administrative issues! She can't bring a glass of water or cup of coffee to her lips. She can't cook or serve herself her own food. She can't hold a pen, she can't type or use a smartphone. She cannot pay by credit card, or manipulate cash or a cheque. My father has been her caregiver all these years. But you could have seen her in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and Japan! DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, YOU HATE-FILLED NUMBSKULL. The person OP is referring to may well have symptoms you cannot see. I would give her the benefit of the doubt, because I've seen first hand how complicated serious disease can be. [/quote]
