"Slack groups and social media are connecting people who've never fully
recovered from coronavirus to collect data on their condition."

Via Esther Schindler, who wrote "Rather than waiting for the science to
catch up, long-haulers are trying to work out for themselves why they’re
still experiencing symptoms. They’ve created vast support groups on
Slack, WhatsApp chat groups, and Instagram pages to organize work to
study their ongoing illnesses, and offer support to each other."
