What #LongCovid continues to experience is a social medical phenomena know as the **Semmelweis Reflex** —
“the metaphor for the reflex-like tendency to reject new evidence or new knowledge because it contradicts established norms, beliefs, or paradigms.” 🧵

Stack up a bunch of checkboxes, group them, add a skip link, and then maybe hit the break room for those donuts.

Remember, font-weight defaults to 400. You need not set it to 400.
