A beautiful, visual description of living with Long COVID including hundreds of hopes for the future, collected from the community.

"It is a constant deluge of pain that slowly strips you of everything you used to be by taking away everything you used to do..."

www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The author Giorgia Lupi's Long COVID symptoms in 2022 and 2023 summarized with a colorful array vertical brushstrokes. Each day has a thin black horizontal line with vertical brushstrokes showing the symptoms from that day. Each color represents a symptom type. The second half of 2022 is dominated by blue, symbolizing pain. A visualization of the hopes from individuals with Long COVID with each individual's hope, name, and how long they have been sick in a rectangle that looks like a sticky note. Our hopes include being able to date, dance, work, think, help others, and live.

It’s great that the CDC Director is finally recommending wearing a mask!

I hope this means she will lead by example by wearing it at public appearances, and that the CDC will issue stronger guidance for mask requirements in essential spaces like healthcare settings.
