Postviral illness is a longstanding tragedy that covid is accelerating. Calling long covid nothing new is not the argument people think it is, and reveals the kind of society they are willing to tolerate: one where we don't think about the air we share, or the airborne viruses with it, and respiratory hygiene doesn't exist

Kris Newby writes: “I was doing social work at an orphanage when I got sick,” says Erin (who asked that her real name not be used). “I passed out and was hospitalized with a high fever, low blood pressure and swollen lymph nodes. After that, I was never the same.” Thus began her seven-year journey battling a devastating illness with no known cause or cure. She was bedridden for all but four hours a day. She could stand only for 20 minutes without fainting. But the worst symptom was the brain fog. “It was like my thoughts were stuck in molasses,” says Erin. No one could figure out what was wrong or how to fix it. She was labeled with chronic fatigue syndrome. Despair set in as the door to her old life slowly closed.
