Hi there.

Just thought we should give you a quick update on how our living with Covid plan is going.

Long Covid is now the most prevalent chronic illness in children.

Women are at far higher risk of long Covid especially women in early 40s.

Women should really get your hearts checked

Apologies

I feel like because the symptoms are often / start with things like "really tired and dizzy" and "mild cough that lasts forever", it's always going to be undercounted, especially with so little info out there. (We saw 3 doctors/specialists who said my LC kid was fine.)

Why does the dork at the bottom of the frame at the beginning have a 60-lb. backpack with a canteen? You're in MacArthur Park. There's an El Pollo Loco on 6th and Alvarado -- just pop in and get yourself a Diet Coke, you dork.

Five positive covid tests in a row, dated June 28 through July 6.

I'm on day 11 of isolation to avoid spreading my covid infection to others.

A reminder that the 5 day rule was shortened from 10 days, and then elimated entirely, because corporate interests were deemed more important than science and public health, and the rules are always made to suit capitalism.

Public health has been decimated. Cuts to Medicaid will stress hospital systems to breaking & cause them to be even more understaffed than they are already. Long COVID research is dead & long COVID clinics are closing. I promise you, you don’t want to get COVID now. Please start masking again

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

LC parents, does anybody have any magical tips for getting your kid to drink fluids? I am so tired of pushing them. We also have invisalign happening, so that means electrolyte drinks are mostly out. I've tried phone alarms every 2 hours and she just ignores them. #longcovidkids

The question we must ask ourselves is why is it normal to fail to prevent a virus that has caused around 6 million children in the US to suffer long covid? Over 120k + in the UK are suffering. Why is there a failure to act? Why has this been normalised? It goes against our human instinct.

The headline asked
β€œWhy are so many children
getting long Covid?”
and though we know
that the answer
to this question
is that the pandemic
never ended,
meaning many children
are still catching Covid,
we keep asking this question
hoping for a different answer.
