Help for employment loss or discrimination against COVID long haulers?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.
We are helping ourselves then we will help others. We can wait on other people to prove what hasn’t not been proven about longhaulers. We are the body of knowledge and the more we share the ones that need it will know we care. Hugs.
Hugs and thank you
The worst thing is when symptoms are hard to qualify, there have always been health issues that have been hard to diagnose, but usually symptoms can be quantified .
