Females with any disease. Relative of mine died of colon cancer her doctors dismissed repeatedly with some version of “woman troubles.”

This is a terrible response. Social media connects people. That can be exploited and is, so needs to be reformed. But that connection is a lifeline for marginalized and smaller communities. Social media makes it possible for disabled people like me to connect, to organize and advocate in ways that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. It makes it possible to advance understanding of issues that traditional media undervalued. Consider how much public understanding of police abuse of minority communities has changed since we could see the videos and hear different narratives directly. Or how much understanding of LGBTQ communities has changed. Social media is wonderful. We just need to figure out how to reform it and make those reforms durable.

Long Covid is an umbrella disorder for lasting impacts of COVID, but the more debilitating outcomes that tend to get the attention in news articles are ME/CFS and autonomic disorders like POTS. Neither resemble encephalitis lethargica. New research into ME/CFS points to problems with neurons in the brain, but it’s not clear that symptoms are the result of irreversible damage. Patients sometimes go into remission and more commonly can regain some lost function with time and rest.
