Saturday night, the hashtag #HighRiskCovid19 started trending on Twitter.

Reading these #HighRiskCovid-19 testimonials is heart wrenching. Only the nastiest trolls can take a look at these posts and not get choked up. This coronavirus is going to be a way of life for a while, and we need to get through it together.
