Kids with Long COVID co-created their own superhero comic book - @thesicktimes.org
thesicktimes.org/2026/10/05/k...
The book, called Long Covid Superheroes, showcases "the bravery of asking for help, resting, and being compassionate with yourself and others."
👀 this 🎥 again, 6 yrs on, brings back so much.
Children living with #LongCovid were too often overlooked & disbelieved. The consequences are still felt today, new infections continue.
We cannot give back lost childhood years, but we can learn, act & do better.
Every child deserves a childhood they can participate in.

6 years on. Long Covid is our foundation. Children are our future. 🧡
We're revisiting the films that helped make children's experiences of Long Covid visible.
Our understanding continues to evolve. Our commitment remains unchanged.
Kids housebound or bedbound with Long COVID created superheroes inspired by their experiences with chronic illness and disability. Their heroes find strength in resting, asking for help and compassion. The characters now feature in a 72-page full-colour comic, Long Covid Superheroes.
Her words are so powerful. They get me very time I hear them.
A good reminder for all of society to take prompt action.
Advocate for, and supoort, children and young people will prolonged, fluctuating, energy limiting conditions.

Was Heidrun auĂźer acht gelassen hat, wie so viele, denen es nur um Daten geht, ist das kumulative Risiko, dass mit jeder #Reinfektion steigt. #LongCovidKids #Covid19
Lieber mal besinnen und Vulnerable schützen? Wie wäre es damit?🖖
We hope she has a wonderful day as she celebrates this achievement, and continue to raise awareness of Long Covid and the experiences of children, and families.
Judge us by the fate to which we toss out children.
In the wake of #LongCovidKids emerging, maybe also have them look into the viability of #VirusFreeAir in schools and on school buses.

Why is the offer in the U.K. so constantly poor?
Do they really want more #longCovid cases, more #longCovidkids, more deaths & more stress on our already long-suffering NHS & its staff?? @andyburnham.bsky.social
