Summary
Long Covid is politically problematic, medically uncertain, and personally scary. It is too easy to look away.
In media narratives this summer the Covid-19 pandemic was eclipsed by the cost of living and climate crises. But in practice these crises co-exist and interact. Long Covid makes heatwaves and price hikes a whole lot harder to bear.
Jo Maybin was healthy, triple vaxed, and had been down with Long Covid since February 2022. In this blog for The King's Fund, Jo describes how she feels and asks you not to look away from Long Covid, this ‘mass disabling event’, which is affecting 2 million people in the UK, and will likely have a direct impact on hundreds of thousands more this winter.
