Stop what you're doing and read this heart-breaking essay about Long Covid written by Giorgia Lupi:

It shows how large the impact of this type of disease can be and what it does to the lives of people who suffer from it.

I think this is the most emotionally touching piece of #dataviz / essay / opinion piece I have ever read.

If nothing else, it should inspire you to be kind & helpful to others, esp. if they suffer from any kind of disease, chronic or not.

Opinion | My Life With Long Covid

Chronic illness has a way of picking apart your mind and breaking your heart.
