This interview with actor/activist Matt McGorry about Long Covid & everything we could be doing better to protect disabled people is simply excellent.
(Minus some copy editing errors on the Guardian's side, *gros soupir*)
The way Matt talks about the cognitive effects, the physical ones, are so intensely familiar. I've been, I am, exactly where he is.
"As an able-bodied person, you trust that your doctor is going to steer the ship if something pops up. But if I were to wait for them and not be proactive, my health would have continued to decline. So, for me, it looks like reading studies, following people who are at the forefront of the science, and cross-referencing with other people in the [long Covid] community. (…) We share resources and talk about what’s working and what’s not working, and how to navigate the systems.”
