A friend of a friend was recently diagnosed with #LongCovid. She is receiving good clinical care but asked for recommendations for where she could find #PeerHealthAdvice. Here's what I wrote back (and yes, I'm looking for feedback & more suggestions!):
The @itsbodypolitic COVID-19 support group is a useful #LongCovid resource: wearebodypolitic.com/covid19
One advantage of @itsbodypolitic is their affiliation with @patientled research for #LongCovid which is tracking disease progression and publishing studies that get attention from the World Health Organization and NIH patientresearchcovid19.com
There are many, many other #LongCovid groups representing different countries, perspectives, expertise, and agendas. Here's my not-comprehensive Twitter list: twitter.com/i/lists/124718…
Twitter list of #LongCovid resources and people living with the condition, curated by @theactualclaire twitter.com/i/lists/131703…
Gentle reminder to reach out to your friends, neighbors, family members and ask if they need help looking online for resources.

Good, up-to-date information is like chicken soup <- said me & my @pewinternet colleagues in 2013 (!) susannahfox.com/2013/09/13/chi…

If it's @zeynep appreciation day, please let me join in! [THREAD]
In 2014, many of us were shocked and dismayed by a cruel and senseless attack on @AdamsLisa, who was living with metastatic breast cancer. @zeynep wrote one of the best take-downs in response: medium.com/technology-and…
It was vintage @zeynep - unsparing in her critique, generous in her explanation of the lessons that people could learn from the episode, loyal to the facts, and deeply humane. So much so that @Sulliview cited it in her column: publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/13/rea…

I’m reflecting on a challenging week as a caregiver for an elder who lives 3 hours away from me. Thanks to luck and preparation, he is OK. [THREAD]
I want to share resources for anyone who has family members living alone -- young, old, and in-between. If we had not done the work to prepare for a crisis, my loved one may not have survived this week.
First: Everyone should make an @atlasofcare Care Map. It will help you visualize the people, love, and services that surround a person. And it will expose holes that need to be filled. atlasofcaregiving.com/caremap/
