Miles, a white, bearded man in his early 30s poses for a selfie infront of City Hall in Los Angeles. He wears a n-95 mask, white shirt, and bolo tie. It’s a sunny, Southern California day.
Three supporters of the Long COVID Awareness Day motion stand outside city hall. They all wear high quality black masks and pose for a photo infront of colorful tile.
BREAKING: the city of Los Angeles just officially recognized Long COVID Awareness Day, and will light City Hall teal in observation of the day on March 15.
I was at the City Hall meeting and just spoke with the advocates that made it happen. Story to come in @thesicktimes.org!

Illustration of the “Swiss cheese model” of COVID-19 protection. Multiple slices of Swiss cheese are lined up in a row, each with holes representing imperfections. A red arrow passes through the slices, showing how risk can slip through gaps in a single layer but is blocked when multiple layers are combined. The slices are labelled with measures including physical distancing, masks, hand hygiene, avoiding crowded indoor spaces, testing and tracing, ventilation and filtration, government messaging and financial support, quarantine and isolation, and vaccines. Text below reads: “Personal responsibilities” and “Shared responsibilities” and explains that each intervention has imperfections, but multiple layers improve success and safety.

“The best preventive measure is vaccination” no. The best preventative for cardiovascular problems after a Covid-19 infection is NOT to get Covid AT ALL. Take precautions

An illustration of a pink anatomical human heart centred on a torn paper background with vintage newspaper print. Overlaid text reads: “Long Covid breaks your heart in more ways than you realise.” The Long Covid SOS logo appears at the bottom.
This Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about the hearts Long Covid affects.
Not just romantic hearts.
Human hearts.
Cardiovascular health.
Family life.
Mental wellbeing.
And so much more.
Long Covid can break your heart - in more ways than you realise

When ministers defended Starmer over Mandelson’s links to Epstein this week, they rushed to X - a platform that lets users strip photos of women and girls.
Is it surely time for the government to log off X? And is social media too toxic for all of us?

Why Nigel Farage’s reaction to the Epstein and Mandelson scandal has been deeply hypocritical, and how his own connections to the story are much closer than he now admits

You! Yes, you! The person talking about covid/long covid on social media YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
My dad, who doesn’t understand LC, just messaged me bc he saw a reel on insta about long covid and all of a sudden has a bunch of questions!
KEEP TALKING! EVERYWHERE! ALL THE TIME!
We will bust these common myths and these Myth-busting assets will be shared across our social media throughout March for #LongCovidAwarenessMonth
Please share as widely as possible, we need to get the correct messaging out there. #LongCovidRuinsLives
Myth 1: Being young and fit protects you from #LongCovid
Fact: WRONG ! all ages & fitness levels can be affected including kids & athletes - often after mild or asymptomatic infection. There’s no way to predict who will be affected or how serious that it may be
Many are still ill after 6 years!

The DOJ has JUST DELETED these Epstein Files again, after a NYT's article from 2016 was shown to corroborate much of it!

I believe we have reached the midpoint folks and are on the road back. I truly hope so.
@chronicMyalgicE on x why is it, that when you're sick and you're not getting better, people automatically assume you must be doing something wrong. Nobody says "i see you're trying so hard" while we're trying so hard. #MECFS
