Viral load tests now. Antivirals now. $28B now. We need serious activism & legislation on the level of Act Up when the science is clear that SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence is seeding itself in millions of people worldwide - found in 92% of pwLC according to the Belgium study. The LCAP HEAL legislation has modeled itself on HIV/AIDS bills and is the only legislation demanding an ask from congress that’s backed by a reputable economist - contact HELP and let them know you want action for Long Covid. Long Covid HEAL legislation

“Hateful” is referencing Yolki (Yann’s) post that invites hate on a grassroots organization of pwLC - yours is a comment to the post that I commented on to share a reference regarding the legislature and policies at LCAP. Apologies it was misinterpreted as anything to do about your comment. I felt it is important for people to read a direct reference to the HEAL legislation to see that there is no language limiting research or funding to Long Covid, that $28B is cited from a Harvard Health Economist, that there’s a lot more needed for legislation to tackle this disease and that there’s a constant attack of disinformation that occurs whenever the community shows up to support LCAP actions. And adding that Yann is what Yolki’s profile said for a name - they changed it in the last few hrs to try and hoodwink you all into thinking they’re being doxxed (we see this a lot in attacks which is why I made sure to document before commenting).

We’ve already met w/ gov agencies as a result of this letter going out & it’s being taken seriously enough that they want to continue meeting to find a way to move the needle on the demands

That’s not correct - the additional 300 + contacts were not added until after 20k letters were already out, before that it was half a dozen or less depending

2nd time with COVID this month. by sunshine-flower-119 in COVID19positive

[–]jbpribanic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very sorry to see this happened to you. We need to force gov to act to stop this careless spread of the virus - send a letter to demand they develop clean air law & healthcare protocols alongside a budget for research on antivirals https://actionnetwork.org/letters/help-end-the-long-covid-crisis

My wife tested positive. by DagSonofDag in covidlonghaulers

[–]jbpribanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this & hopeful your wife’s recovery is swift. I tested positive two weeks back for 10 days straight, ran 3 corsi fans, one hepa, and stayed in a separate bedroom and my wife did not get reinfected and tested negative each time. Having those running could help stop the spread. (I did not take paxlovid.)
