2024_3_15 Long Covid Awareness Day
1. People who know the severity and diversity of LC symptoms tend to take more precautions to avoid infections & help protect others.
2. Many People with Long Covid struggle to articulate the diversity and severity of our symptoms.
Helping those two things (especially number 2) is why I have been using my very limited energy for Illmarks.Β
While creating these art pieces and managing this website are immensely meaningful to me in reconnecting with my body, I cannot overstate how hard it is to feel so disconnected from the visible parts of the planet’s lack of handling our ongoing pandemic.
I’ve had a couple of People with Long Covid tell me they shared a piece or two from this site with their loved ones who struggle to understand, and that means the world to me.

For USA folks, the βwhat are our goalsβ on the LC/DC Q&A Page is a great list of tangible actions for LC prevention, research, and protections.
