As Long Covid awareness month wraps up, I invite you all to have a listen to the podcast. I share stories of different people whose lives have been changed by Covid, interviews with experts, and episodes about how to live with this illness. Available on all platforms. Please share widely.

Which one drives you crazy? *sorry for the lack of punctuation, the app wasn’t cooperating #longcovidawareness

"More than 70% of US household COVID spread started with a child, study suggests" Published: June 3, 2023 "A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that 70.4% of nearly 850,000 US household COVID-19 transmissions originated with a child."

Voices of Long Covid has been heard in 1000 cities now. Keep speaking up! Our voices are powerful! Thank you for listening ❤️ #longcovidawareness

By Covid Caution - XFG, LF.7, LP.8.1 @covidcaution.bsky.social I'll never be able to un-see how quickly everyone snapped from "We're in this together!" to "We are NOT in this together! You do you, and don't you DARE do anything to remind me of ANY of this!" Link: x.com/CovidCaution...

Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'? We are right.

Ableism makes you think you will be the exception. Disability won’t happen to you. You’re “better than that”. You’re “stronger”. You will succeed where the rest of us failed. It’s not true. Disability can & does happen to almost everyone. It’s not a moral failing.

So grateful that my husband’s music has been recognized with a nomination for a Canadian Podcast award ❤️

Society only chose option 1 because they were lied to. “It’s just a cold” “Kids are fine” “Herd immunity” "Only the vulnerable are at risk" Repeat it enough times and people believe there’s no danger. Denial is easy. Prevention takes effort. Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

Clara, age 11 says "I feel exhausted, sometimes I can't get out my bed, I have to use a wheelchair, I have to be on a part time timetable at school but sometimes I don't get in for that, I don't see a lot of my friends" UK #COVIDInquiry 🙏 @channel5bluesky.bsky.social

The cruelty of saying “hospitals are ready” by increasing ICU beds and body bags… instead of fixing the ventilation. Just mull over that for a bit #MedSky.

Museum of Vancouver Long Covid exhibit launch #longcovidawareness

If you thought wearing a mask was “too hard”, you really won’t like living with chronic illness. Everything about the chronic illness existence is hard. It’s suffering, fatigue, pain and abandonment. It’s having to mask all the time because no one else wants to protect you.

Why isn’t school attendance policy reflecting the research in the Lancet on long covid? @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social Children’s long term health should be the priority here! Failure to rest, especially in girls, increases long Covid risks! Over 120k children in UK with long Covid now #CleantheAir

Public health is a group effort. “You do you” rugged individualism doesn’t work. We vaccinate to protect ourselves and those around us. We vaccinate to protect babies, immunocompromised people and those who can’t receive the vaccine. We’ve eradicated entire diseases. RFK Jr must resign.

For the final episode of Season 2, my guest is neuro physiotherapist Trineta Bhojwani. Are you a POTS sufferer? Do you suspect that you may have POTS? Have you had heart rate issues ever since your Covid infection? Don’t miss this one!

If you’re traveling this holiday season, remember to wear an N95 mask. There’s COVID, flu, and other respiratory viruses circulating—especially in indoor public spaces. The best way to avoid long COVID and other lingering conditions associated with viral illness is simply not getting sick. Mask.
