Graphic saying Long Covid, Lives Ruined, We need answers.

We've arrived on Bluesky! Please bear with us while we get up and running on here.
If you have suggestions on who to follow on here from the Long Covid and wider chronic illness communities please let us know!

People think of the pandemic as having been going on for nearly 4 years.
Yes, it has.

But the mass repeat infection experiment has only really been going for 1¾ years.

And its effects are only just starting to truly show.

We are bringing our call for Covid Action (Now!) to Bluesky!

Clinically Vulnerable Families has just made it to BlueSky.

Please follow and share if you are interested in staying safe from Covid.
