Many people think a negative COVID test means the virus is behind them.

For a lot of people with Long Covid, the story looks different.

Many of us tested negative during the acute infection. Symptoms showed up later. Weeks later. Sometimes months later.

By the time the connection becomes clear, the virus is gone but the damage remains.

This is one reason Long Covid is so often misunderstood, delayed in diagnosis, or dismissed entirely.

Negative test does not mean no Long Covid.

March is Long Covid Awareness Month.

Long Covid is often misunderstood.

In the first episode of The After, our chair Rachel Madison sits down with Dr. Brode, director of the University of Texas Post-COVID-19 Clinic, to talk about what doctors are seeing and what patients are living through.

Watch the full conversation on YouTube or Spotify. Links are in our bio.

📣 This is big news!! The City of Austin is officially recognizing Long Covid Day!

On March 12, the City of Austin will proclaim Long Covid Awareness Day at their Council meeting! Join us at City Hall if you can or watch virtually to cheer us on. The event starts at 9:00 AM CST.

We appreciate the City of Austin for working with us to acknowledge the thousands of residents whose lives have been changed by Long Covid.

And if City Hall happens to glow teal that night, we would all love to see it! 🩵

Three more facts we wish weren’t true about Long Covid. 🧵

This is Week 2 of our Monday series for Long COVID Awareness Month. Each week we share things the world needs to understand—about who gets it, what it takes, and why it matters.

This week:
📍 Athletes are not immune
📍 You can look fine and be profoundly ill
📍 Past infection does not protect you

Come back next Monday for Week 3. We’ll be here. So will millions of Long Covid patients who need you to understand.

I spent months trying to prove I was sick enough to need help — and capable enough to not need it.

I managed my symptoms around my meetings. I answered calls with a smile I didn’t have. I gave my job everything I had left.

And I still lost it.

If you’re doing what I did — pushing through, masking, faking fine — I see you. I was you.
But I want you to know what I wish someone had told me: your employer doesn’t have to live with the consequences of pushing too hard.

You do.

Swipe through, and if this resonates — share it, tag someone who needs to hear it, or drop your experience in the comments. You’re not alone in this. 🩵
