T 🍉<p>International Long COVID Awareness Day was March 15th.</p><p>From the patient-led research collaborative fact sheet: </p><p>At least 400 million people globally have Long COVID, and this number is likely a significant undercount. In the US, about 1 in 19 people have Long COVID–the same rate as diabetes. But only 7% of doctors say they’re confident diagnosing Long COVID, and a majority of Long COVID patients report having negative experiences as they attempt to get care.</p><p>1/</p><p><a href="https://jorts.horse/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <a href="https://jorts.horse/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a></p>

Jon Hancock<p>An awful lot of people suffered lung damage after contracting Covid-19, so in that respect I've been pretty lucky that my lungs are in decent shape after two bouts of it. Still, long Covid continues to take its toll, and today—entirely predictably—I discovered that playing the melodica is exhausting 😁 </p><p>It's going to take a fair while for me to get used to the breath control and level of exertion involved. Fun though. Muddled my way through the Wellerman shanty that everyone took a shine to during lockdown.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Melodica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Melodica</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>This <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/LongCovidAwarenessDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovidAwarenessDay</span></a> I’m reflecting on how many people have been let down by governments, public health & medical establishments</p><p>How Covid has been downplayed, airborne spread ignored & vaxx and relax strategies pushed for the sake of capitalism</p><p>How many have Long Covid because of this?</p><p>Those of us who were disabled before the pandemic could see this wave of chronic illness coming - and many of us have been screaming from the top of our lungs the last 5 years. </p><p>Begging people not to take their health for granted & to wear a mask and protect themselves. </p><p>Warning them that there are no do-overs once you become chronically ill. Unfortunately very few people are listening - and many won’t understand the true devastation of <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/LongCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCovid</span></a> until it directly impacts them. At which point it’ll be too late. </p><p>Despite seeing these waves of disability as an inevitable consequence of “let er rip” Covid strategy - one thing I did not see coming was how many people would willingly embrace not only ableism - but full on eugenics. </p><p>People in my own life who were previously kind & supportive have become cruel and angry. The masks have been ripped off. They don’t hesitate to tell me that they blame me for the restrictions placed on them in the early days of Covid. </p><p>That they will never again allow their freedoms to be infringed on in the name of protecting the vulnerable. One even went as far as to say “you’ve been sick for years - just die already.” </p><p>People who say these things don’t understand what disabled ppl understand all too well - your health is not a permanent state. </p><p>Everyone will become disabled eventually - some earlier than others. Many who think they’re invulnerable are already vulnerable and don’t even know it </p><p>Yet rather than adapting behaviour and pushing for a new normal that makes the world safe for everyone - most temporarily abled people have instead doubled down on hateful eugenics talking points and want us to stay home forever (or worse - die). It needs to stop. </p><p>Covid is airborne and we all share the air. “You do you” individualism is quite literally killing people. We need to start caring about the air we share as this will lead to a healthier society for everyone. </p><p>Until then we need to mask up. It’s easy, incredibly effective & it might save someone’s life. At the very least you will know you didn’t contribute to another person’s suffering - and you will be drastically reducing your own odds of getting Long Covid.
