I’m a COVID-19 Long-Hauler, HIV Activist, and Artist. Here’s How I Navigated 2020
As Told to Terri Wilder, M.S.W.
Pato Hebert
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, both government and medical sources reported that recovery for people with mild symptoms would take around two weeks, and for people presenting with more severe symptoms, three to six weeks. Over the past several months, there has been a growing concern about those of us who are remaining ill past the predicted recovery period, now known as COVID-19 long-haulers.
In this article, we share the story of one such COVID-19 long-hauler, longtime HIV activist and artist Pato Hebert. An associate arts professor at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, Hebert’s work explores the aesthetics, ethics, and poetry of interconnectedness. He also allies with social movements and community organizations to develop innovative approaches to HIV mobilization, programs, advocacy, and justice.
The reality series follows the Foy family and three restaurants they run in Bolton Landing, a tourist town at Lake George. Married couple Buddy Foy Jr. and Jennifer Foy, who operate Chateau on the Lake, will also serve as co-owners of The Chateau Anna Maria.
In a phone interview with the Herald-Tribune, Foy Jr. said he already knew Sarasota-Manatee well through family. His parents Cate and Buddy Foy Sr. have lived on Anna Maria Island for more than 20 years, his brother Keith lives in Sarasota and his daughter Summer graduated this year from IMG Academy in Bradenton.
“It’s a very similar environment during the winter in Florida as it was here in the summer, Foy Jr. said. (We said) let’s duplicate what we did, let’s bring our employees and keep them employed, and let’s go for it.
Since the coronavirus started spreading across the globe in late 2019, scientists have been looking for a vaccine. Now that vaccines are proven, it will ultimately be up to each state to determine who will get the vaccine, and when? Yo habia ido al hospital y le decia no te me acerques porque eso duele mucho. Esto te va a tumbar, te va a matar no te acerques ma acerques vete a tu cuarto. Y mi mama se puso a llorar y me decia no me quieres y yo le decia no es que no te quiera ma, porque te quiero no te me acerques por favor, said Macias. ( I used to tell my mom, please don t come close to me. My mom would cry and tell me you don t love me and I would explain to her Mom because I love you, please go to your room. )
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors budget and finance committee has advanced an ordinance that would reduce the rent of nearly 3,000 residents living in supportive housing units in the city with a recommendation that the full board adopt it.
Introduced by District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney, the ordinance would reduce the tenants requirement that they pay 50% of their income to 30% of their monthly pay. It would bring rent parity to all tenants in supportive housing, as those in buildings built since 2016 in the city are paying only 30% of their income toward their rent. The federal government also has adopted such a rental pay cap nationwide.
