Tremor/Vibration Study

A study is forming for Long Haulers with Neurological tremors or internal vibrations. If you have these symptoms and want to be included, please EMAIL us with your details.

This is not a clinical trial, but an attempt to gather data and stories to help get funding, and bring attention to these destructive symptoms that impact Long Hauler’s physical and mental health.

#AddYellow: Red, White, Blue & Yellow

Survivor Corps, COVID Survivors for Change & Yellow Heart Memorial are launching the #AddYellow Campaign to encourage people across the United States to wear yellow in July - in solidarity with those whose lives were taken or forever changed by COVID-19.

The Yellow Heart has become a symbol of COVID loss and survival, representing both sudden and catastrophic loss - and signifying new hope.

Scarred by Covid, Survivors and Victims’ Families Aim to Be a Political Force

(July 20, 2021) Grassroots groups are learning how to lobby for things like mental health and disability benefits, research on “long haulers,” an investigation of the pandemic and a national day to honor the dead.

“This isn’t a political finger-pointing exercise. We are not looking for a trial of who was right and who was wrong. We need an autopsy of what happened.” ~ Diana Berrent, Founder
