Today is international long COVID awareness day.
Be aware. And let the awareness lead you to action.
Wearing a mask should be simple enough.

@rybson I find the campaign pretty confusing and not good at, well, spreading awarness.
I never really looked into long covid, its symptoms or what is it about, other than vaguely knowing it exists.
I went to the site hoping to find and learn something about it, and 5 minutes later I still don't know anything, other than that I should spread awareness about it and wear teal colors.
@Themikina @rybson Long Covid Awareness day is about solidarity. It's here to give people a little push to go out and learn about the illness and to talk about it with others.
Not every resource can offer the desired information for everyone on a silver platter, especially because many people with Long Covid are too ill to create and spread such all-encompassing resources.
If this website wasn't clear enough for you, see it as an incentive to go out and find other resources about the topic. Millions of people have developed Long Covid in the past few years, it's worth it to know more about their experience out of solidarity, especially because the majority is still looking away and staying uninformed.
Like Oscar Wilde said: "The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing."
