This is the first comic in a series about long COVID. The series features King County residents and providers sharing their experiences with the long-lasting symptoms and conditions that can follow an infection with COVID-19. Thank you to Deepa Sivarajan for sharing this story.
Deepa provided these recommendations for resources about long COVID:
- The Long COVID Survival Guide – a great series of essays by long COVID survivors, health care providers, public health specialists, and more
- The Sick Times – a site that tracks everything long COVID-related, including a helpful e-newsletter
- The People’s CDC – COVID protection advocacy organization that organizes for both COVID protections and for long COVID research and treatment
- Reporting by Ed Yong, who won a Pulitzer for his reporting on COVID – his articles are linked on his site (including PDFs for paywalled articles), and he has an e-newsletter
- Reporting by Julia Doubleday, including her e-newsletter The Gauntlet
