Two years after the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped daily life, a new term is taking over social media: #LongCOVID. But what exactly is it—and why are millions still struggling? 🤔
The World Health Organization defines long COVID as persistent symptoms lasting three months or more after initial infection. Fatigue, brain fog 🌪️, and breathlessness top the list, but many report chronic pain and emotional turbulence. The hashtag has surged as sufferers from the UK 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, and Australia 🇦🇺 share stories of invisible battles. 💬
\"It’s like running a marathon… but you never cross the finish line,\" said one interviewee in a recent panel by CGTN Global Stringer. Others described careers derailed, relationships strained, and daily tasks turned monumental. Yet with no universal treatment, advocates demand urgent research 🧪 and global awareness.
As tweets and TikTok videos spotlight these struggles, long COVID is no longer just a health crisis—it’s a digital rallying cry. 🌍✨
