2024_4_30 “Theories that diseases are caused by mental states and can be cured by willpower are always an index of how much is not understood about the physical terrain of the disease.”
– Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor

– Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor

Am Sonntag findet am Wiener Heldenplatz eine Protestaktion für mehr Bewusstsein von Long/Post Covid bzw. ME/CFS statt.

Symbolisch für die vielen Schwerkranken werden bei der Aktion Feldbetten aufgestellt und Sehenswürdigkeiten blau beleuchtet.
