The @NIH ’s RECOVER Initiative is having a hard time recruiting #longhaulers . Many of our members have no site in their state or within 100 miles. We want to hear from you! Check sites here. Is there a site accessible to you? How far away? Comment ⬇️

Some of your senators voted to end the pandemic emergency declared in March 2020 & all the protections & preventative measures (free testing, vax, & boosters, etc) that it provided. @POTUS announced that he will be vetoing the resolution. CALL THEM OUT! List of shame below⬇️

@CDCgov @CDCMMWR #LongCOVID can last years to life. 1) Long COVID can result in death 2) Many conditions such as POTS, MCAS, ME, and more- occur as part of Long COVID. None of which have a cure themselves, therefore being lifelong. 1/2

11 months post covid infection. Current diagnoses & symptoms. Tell me again how COVID isn’t real or serious and how wearing a mask and social distancing impedes your freedoms bc I basically have none left due to my health. I am one of MILLIONS of longhaulers dealing with this.

Our current estimate of the annual cost as a result of #LongCOVID is $269 Billion! With over 100,000 cases daily, we will see 20,000 #Longhaulers (another 8,000 needing SSD), & increase our annual costs by $728 million, per day. 6/7
