* Encourage people to avoid #AcuteCOVID
* Destigmatize #ChronicCOVID
* and more . . .
#InternationalLongCOVIDAwarenessDay
#March15
#LongCOVIDAwarenessDay is March 15th
The reason we need that day is because, unlike polio, people who survive #AcuteCOVID aren't in iron lungs - a terrifying sight
Those who have #ChronicCOVID are generally invisible - confined to their beds, misunderstood by most physicians and lay people alike
Regional TV news is wondering whether elevated absence rates among school students are due to late nights on social media or late nights playing video games. Really? Can't think of any other possible explanation there? #LongCovid #AcuteCovid
Or #COVAIDS, whatever - too many people think #LongCOVID is just #ShortCOVID, only longer; they don't realize that it's really #AcuteCOVID turning into #ChronicCOVID
Every time you get COVID, you're rolling the dice to see how many of the 200+ #ChronicCOVID symptoms you add this time around
What are the #longcovid crew doing these days when they get struck with #acutecovid ? Back in the Tw*tter days there was lots of supplements like nattokinase, quercetin, anti-histamines, iota carrageenan nasal sprays and CPC mouthwashing. I’d love to know if there have been new discoveries.
