My Day 1 – a term people with Long Covid use to mark the first day of symptoms – was 25 March. Unofficial names were created – we call ourselves “long haulers” or say we have “Long Covid”. No one could tell me or other people with Long Covid when to stop isolating, so we stayed isolated. First, Long Covid patients need access to daily care, daily check-ins, and post-Covid clinics even if they are recovering from home, and especially if they are isolated. Second, studies on Covid patients need to include long haulers, not just hospitalized patients, who have vastly different disease progressions.
