Everything leads back to money.
Health and happiness are the #1 most important things to have in life. And you can be rich and depressed or in poor health.
But money is necessary for many things to improve your health. Medication, fitness coaches, fun activities. And poverty forces you into situations which damage your health: pollution, stressful jobs, cheap products.
It’s not Long Covid which is causing this woman to want to kill herself, it’s Long Covid and the fact she doesn’t have enough money. We’re lucky to be in a situation where many things can be solved or at least alleviated with money and connections. But if you lack money, you’re completely screwed.
Is it harmless to keep someone alive when they have essentially no cognitive function?
