« In the earliest days of the AIDS crisis, America ignored the problem, even though people were dropping dead by the thousands.
We’re repeating the mistake now with long COVID. Millions are suffering, but the government has largely turned its back »

The rate of people experiencing #LongCovid has jumped to 6.8% of all US adults, up from 5.3% just four months ago.
That's 1 in 15 adults, and is the highest it's been since 2022.
We can reasonably expect a future increase from January's wave.

When many people state that lockdowns caused the deepest depression they’ve ever experienced, just a reminder that many disabled people are still in lockdown, four years later. Isolation is a form of torture. I want to live in a world where disabled people are wanted in society.

More than 16 million Americans are suffering from long COVID. Too many of them have had their symptoms dismissed and ignored by their doctors, their media, and their government. This must stop. We must address this crisis now.

New data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor:
The number of people with a disability dramatically increased & hit a new record of 34 million in June 2023.
#LongCovid is a mass disabling event.
The information designer @giorgialupi has been living with long Covid for more than three years. ��Every morning, I wake up in my Brooklyn apartment, and for two seconds, I can remember the old me. The me without pain, the me with energy,” she writes. Read: https://t.co/nVSXZOJPfP
Doctors say that to understand the fatigue of a person with a chronic illness, a "normal person" would have to stay awake for three days straight and then try to function.
But yes please continue to tell me you are just as tired as I am.
"The cumulative burden of #LongCovid continues to rise. Some 200 million people are predicted to develop the condition over the next decade, comparable with the number who currently have heart disease."
