A Day in the Life of a Longhauler
What is this project about?
Despite 3.5 million Canadians experiencing Long COVID symptoms, there continues to be a lack of acknowledgment and awareness of Long COVID.
This project asks longhaulers to share photos of their daily life with the public to:
- Make this illness visible
- Reduce stigma and shame
- Advocate for support
Who is supporting this project?
We’re an interdisciplinary team, including a patient and community advocate, social justice, and health researchers at the Pacific Institute on Pathogens, Pandemics and Society (PIPPS) at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV (¶¡ÏãÔ°AV).
This project emerged from conversations with Long COVID patients, carers, and healthcare workers, who identified greater awareness and education of Long COVID as a priority. To read more about us and our work, you can check out our article: '
Where will these photos be exhibited?
The team will curate a virtual exhibition housed at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV and launch the project at a Long COVID public event with Pulitzer-prize winning science journalist Ed Yong as part of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's President’s Dream Colloquium in One Health on April 4 at 7 pm.
Our team is also working to create a travelling physical exhibit and will inform you once we have finalized a schedule with community partners.
