'LC can have up to 200 symptoms and can affect every organ of the body and the only way to avoid getting Long COVID, is to not get COVID at all or to limit the amount of times that you do get it.' He continued: 'I don’t share this to scare people, but bc I now recognize that I was living in denial bc of how badly I wanted COVID to be over. I hope that you can learn from my experience.
' The New York native, known for his role as Asher Millstone in the ABC legal thriller series How to Get Away with Murder, also stressed the importance of masking in public places 'where all disabled people have to be' like medical settings, grocery stores and public.
