Before the pandemic, Lucy Keighley ran a gym, worked as a personal trainer and went on gruelling, exhilarating runs. But after three and a half years of illness, she isn’t sure she will ever recover
My daughter, global public health student+vegan nutrition expert, struggles constantly since 2007 to regain her health from post-viral #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis#LongCovid@sheencr.bsky.social@waggery.bsky.social
It is truly one of the 3 biggest "dropped the ball" parts of my time being alive, how buttheads politicised COVID & ignored medical science, how a bunch of us spent 20 years on a failed set of wars in response to 9/11, and how we've let ourselves be tricked into doing fuck all about climate change
It’s been 5 years already.. Enough
I read this article this morning right after chatting with an old friend from Belgium yesterday. He used to race bikes in world championships and ride 15-20K kms/yr. 4 months after getting Covid he's largely given up bike riding. Has heart weirdness, mystery headaches, swollen limbs. #LongCovid

Yes, but it is sad that in 2024 these reminders of an ongoing pandemic are still necessary. We need systemic solutions to this health crisis, no more "individual fates" in media
