"I don't think the general public really understands how bad it can be," said @oliviah0808 "I don't want to sugar coat anything. Having #LongCovid is like a nightmare. The symptoms can be really debilitating." abc7news.com/covid-19-pande…

“@oliviah0808 is young, healthy & had no underlying health conditions.. she never expected she would experience #LongCovid. But 8 months later, is still dealing with the impacts.. She had to drop out of graduate school & move back home with her parents.. & not been able to work”

“Ending the public health emergency without more public warnings about #LongCovid, or proper treatment for it, is irresponsible.” abc7news.com/covid-19-pande…

‘Again, I thought that I would be perfectly fine. A lot of people that are healthy & vaccinated are, but a lot of people will end up like me. Life on pause, no end in sight.’”
