Commentary

  • A person is standing looking down, they appear sad. They have brown hair, and are wearing a brown sweater. They are leaning on a fence and appear to be on a bridge walkway. There is a group of people in the distance. In the background is a sunset with orange, yellow, and blue colors that is set over dark blue water, with a green hillside lining the waterway.

  • A flier for the event reads, "The Sick Times: Free Webinar, The Long COVID Op-Ed." It features photos, names, and affiliations for the event's three guest speakers: Torie Bosch, First Opinion editor at STAT; Madeline Miller, best-selling author; Funmi Okunola, MD, co-founder of Long COVID the Answers. There is a stack of newspapers in the background of the flyer, on top of a teal background.

In the scene, a man touches the shoulder of a woman lying down as four other people stand by and watch.
