“Long COVID has shattered every aspect of my life,” says Ella, who contracted COVID in 2021 at 19 and had to move home. Once active and social, she now spends days in a dark room with “debilitating fatigue,” exercise intolerance, brain fog, nerve pain, breathlessness and many other symptoms.

The policy implications are clear. We need:
✅ Clean Air in schools so kids don't catch #Covid several times a year
✅ To direct JCVI to look again at the costs & benefits of vaccinating kids, including #LongCovid risks
✅ Free vax access
✅ Honest communication of real & serious risks to kids.

100% this. Take care of yourself and your loved ones and #MaskUp.
Otherwise, it's possible that those few weeks of sick time could lead to #longCOVID or #MECFS, the gifts that go on giving, well after the holiays. On and on, with no end in sight.

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”
