Our Database now has over 500 articles about covid and kids (Spoiler - it is not good for them to catch over and over again). They are all either peer-reviewed or peer-reviewed adjacent (ie: they quote/cite peer-reviewed articles).

Episode 88 of our Voices Series: The Long Impact of Covid:
Image showing a picture of blue headphones, a cup of coffee and a note pad with 'Find your voice' written on it in pink. Above it is a box of text stating: 'Episode 88 of our Voices Series: The Long Impact of Covid: With permission of the senders, we are continuing to share some of the messages we receive in order to provide a voice to school community members. These posts have been anonymized to protect the identity of those that sent them in. If you have a school related covid/long-covid experience you would like us to share anonymously, please reach out and have your voice heard while helping others experiencing similar challenges realize that they are not alone. MESSAGE 1: I contracted COVID in January 2022. A time when everyone was supposed to be masked up. A parent sent their kid to school with full blown covid. This student was told not to tell us she was sick. Half our class got Covid, including myself. I got Long Haul Covid. I’m 3 1/2 years into this chronic disease. A disease which destroyed my health and my ability to work. I was an education assistant. My life is so different from before Covid. I have a page full of symptoms that I deal with daily. Doctors are not educated in this disease. They look at you like you’re a hypochondriac, or crazy. I’ve learned to accept where my life is now. To be positive. To stop and smell the flowers. At the end of the day I wouldn’t wish this nightmare on anyone. I know I’m not alone, many teachers, EAs and support staff also suffer with Long Haul. All I can do is educate others and hope a cure comes with time.'
