Description

Today is a discussion of Long COVID.  I welcome Ondine Sherwood a health advocate with the organization Long COVID SOS and Vicky van der Togt of the Zero COVID Alliance.
Ondine Sherwood is an IT professional with an interest in health.  She caught what she assumes was Covid-19 at the end of March 2020 (never tested at the time) and although the symptoms were relatively mild she developed Long Covid.  She thought on many occasions that I had recovered but the symptoms kept returning, especially after exertion, work or stress.  She is a co-founder of LONG COVID SOS.
Vicky van der Togt is the founder of the Zero Covid Alliance, co-founder of the Dutch human rights organisation Containment Nu Netherlands and member of Long Covid Nederland (PASC). She has been advocating for recognition, research and treatment for Long Covid in the Netherlands since July last year, and has run multiple (international) campaigns focused on this and many other topics regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
