US President Joe Biden says Covid long haulers will have access to disability protections – the first world leader to do the right thing on this issue.  After yesterday’s video conference with Survivor_Corps where long Covid survivors and their families gave extraordinarily harrowing accounts of their situations (see below), let’s hope Joe Biden is as good as his word.  We are all soldiers in a war against an unseen enemy that has taken millions of lives already, with millions more to come.  Let’s leave no soldier behind.
