ALT Covid is not over. Each new variant brings with it a wave of long COVID. We are millions around the world - we exist. Long COVID unites us. There is no cure for this systemic disease: at best, we have temporary fixes for some of the symptoms. This disease can affect anyone, regardless of age, social status or nationality; women are disproportionately affected, facing greater risk at work and often having their symptoms dismissed as psychological. Chronically ill and disabled people are at higher risk, and their health issues accumulate. Children also suffer, often in silence. But everyone is at risk, without any exception. New cases emerge every day, as reinfections continue. 1 in 10 people at least : Long COVID cannot be written in the past tense, even though most institutions have chosen to erase and minimize the pandemic.
ALT You likely know a close one suffering from it. Even if you don’t know it, you could be affected by it too: long COVID also means all the diseases that are induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Five years in, we still do not know all the consequences of the pandemic. What we already know should be enough: some died in the acute phase, others later on, or slowly, from the chronic form of the disease and/or of the social death it brings along. We have lost health, jobs, friends, family, social rights... New cases emerge every day. We can’t manage it by ignoring it. As of today, March 15, 2025, 5 years after the start of the pandemic, we are denouncing the lethal silence on the COVID epidemic still going on, and claim our rights.
ALT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO TREATMENT AND CARE : • Urgent clinical trials focused on the treatment of causes and mechanisms: thromboinflammation, viral persistence, dysimmunity. • Recognition of the disease’s severity, whatever shape it takes, and management of the risk of complications. I want doctors to think about the risks of my persistent infection, my life expectancy, as for other chronic diseases. • Biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring treatment efficacy. • Rapid, effective tests and preventive treatments to minimise the harm caused by the infection. • Access to trained doctors and nurses, with coordinated, multidisciplinary care pathways and safe healthcare facilities that don’t make us navigate aimlessly from one consultation to the next. I live with long COVID, and I need to be able to be seen by healthcare staff that are commited to treating our illness more than silencing our complaints
