For those that don’t know, this is [youtuber] Physics Girl, she’s been bedridden with Long Covid for just shy of 2 years. This is, I think, the first time we’ve seen her not laying in her bed with barely enough energy to talk, let alone sit up, hold a camera and smile.

> I didn’t know anything was wrong with her in the first place. She’s more of a quality over quantity person, so it’s not unusual to have long stretches of time between videos, plus, she was on that submarine, so I just assumed that’s why we haven’t been seeing much of her. Turns out she has a potentially life threatening form of Long Covid. And here I was all excited to see Simone in the thumbnail for a PhysicsGirl video.
