Hey, call your reps about this bill. “Disabled” is the only marginalized group anyone can join at any time, and Long Covid will do it. Trust me. My diagnoses are fibromyalgia and POTS, and there’s a ton of overlap w LC. I was an elite athlete and now I need a 3-hour nap after walking my dog.

This is good. Please call your US reps and ask them to co-sponsor/support. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ilhan Omar to introduce major Long Covid bill

The Long Covid Research Moonshot Act would fund $10 billion to fight the illness.

I understand what you're saying. I've had ME (formerly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for 30 years.

Sadly, the folks who were the first diagnosed CF/ME know this rodeo all to well. Difficulty obtaining diagnosis, obtaining care, and then increasing disability. The disabled numbers are going to explode in the next 5 years. We need better social networks, not less.
