"We learnt from researchers, scientists and doctors with lived experience, how in a wellbeing economy, we would choose prevention including clean indoor air and rolling out HEPA filters in every school, hospital, office, shop, restaurant and home to reduce COVID sickness by over 80%."

A group of masked people holds a banner in front of the National COVID Memorial Wall. The banner reads:
“LONG COVID – LIVES RUINED. we need answers”
Smaller signs say things like “LISTEN, LEARN, ANSWERS” and “GET PIMS KNOWN: AWARENESS, PROMPT TREATMENT = BETTER OUTCOMES.”

We need to talk about Long COVID.
Cat Fraser, who has lived with the chronic illness for years, says it’s time to get Long Covid on the agenda and give its many victims the support they need.

Millions are living with Long COVID. Yet many act like the pandemic is over.
We’re still here. Still sick. Still being ignored.

"I carried on as normal – until my body finally forced me to stop for two years."
Too often, those with ME or Long COVID are pushed beyond their limits by systems that refuse to believe them.

"Last year, George Monbiot warned that ‘we are all playing COVID roulette’ as 10–20% of infections can result in new health conditions and long term disability."
The risks don’t end with infection. Long COVID can reshape your entire life—and it’s happening far more often than most people realize.
