"I'm Violet Affleck, a Los Angeles voter, I'm a first-time voter, 18.

I saw first-hand that medicine doesn't always have answers for the consequences of even minor viruses.

1 in 10 infections leads to long COVID that is a devastating illness that takes away people's ability to work, move, walk and even think.

To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration, and UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers."
