This season on Covid is Stoopid, we thought it would be interesting to set out an extra microphone and get some fresh perspective. And so we did. Welcome to the first of our interview series in which Mateo will be asking a few friends who have been a tangible part of his recovery about their memories of his experience with Long Covid by way of three core questions: 1. How did you find out I was sick? 2. What can you tell me about some of those first times you saw me? 3. When pe...

Today, we shift from our focus on the day-to-day to a place where many long haulers have gone in search of answers. A place where we’ve seen tears of all kinds. A place that even the name will no doubt stir some memories and feelings...

It’s safe to say that in early 2021, there was no semblance of 'normal' in our day to day lives. And in this week’s episode, we’re going to get another look into Mateo’s personal Journals and explore how he and the family were taking their ‘not normal’ and trying to make a life with it. What do you remember about this time in your life? What were you feeling? How were you and your loved ones holding up? Send us an email: CovidisStoopid2020@GMail.com Find us on Instagram: @...

Historically, Mateo has never been much of an online presence. And by not much, I mean less than anyone I know. In this era of passively checking up on family and friends through social media, sometimes we have to dig a little deeper to find out how they’re doing.

In our final episode of the season, Mateo lets us in as he carefully and methodically prepares himself for a night of greatness. Also known as the long-awaited Weird Al show.

The endeavor of changing up a lifelong habit – especially one as personal, comforting and essential as what we eat – is never an easy one, even when we’re operating at our best. But for the COVID Long Haulers, it wasn’t an option, it was a necessity... What changes have you found most difficult? Helpful? Strange?

The choice to say Yes or say No. For some, it’s a case-by-case basis. But to others, it’s a lifestyle. And for the COVID Long Haulers, “Yes” has become a very very difficult choice. Where have your Yes and No decisions been made? Let us know!

How many of you keep Journals? Or have ever kept Journals? For some of the Covid Long Haulers, it has become essential. Maybe it’s a way of remembering some of the past because Covid has done everything it can to take that away from you. But to others, it may be more than that. Here’s my Big Brother Mateo with Temporary Teardrop Tattoo. How have you mapped your experience with Long Haul Covid (and before? And after?)? Send us an email: CovidisStoopid2020@GM...

For the Covid Long Haulers out there - and anyone who finds themselves battling new obstacles day in and day out, be that mental or physical or emotional - it's safe to say that contexts are changing. Have changed. What may have been taken for granted one day is an ongoing struggle today. And on the other side of that token, you've got all those events in life that may otherwise be "just another Saturday" that may just become a source of an epiphany. Here's my bi...

"Ars Gratia Artis" - Art for Art’s Sake That's the idea we're ruminating on today as that exact concept has been instrumental in Mateo's rehabilitation, his self-exploration and his overall well-being. From cross-stitching to dreamcatchers to flowers with skulls in them, we've got some lively and lovely ground to cover today. What's been keeping your head up? Exercise? Family time? Something new? Something familiar? Well we're going to talk about it t...

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Some would say that everything is a matter of perspective and your perspective forms your reality.

December 2020. It was a weird time for everyone. Who we could and couldn’t see for the holidays, where we could go and what we could do. Did any of you think to Journal about it? Well, Mateo did.

Today we’d like to show you something different. The part this journey that was never really meant for anyone else, but will be today.

This week, Mateo's resting his voice, and Little Brother Lucas is sharing an essay Mateo shared with him. Christine Miserandino's 'The Spoon Theory' is one woman's idea of how to convey to her friend what it's like to be sick with the help of a simple diner utensil, and one Covid Long Hauler would like to do the same with you, the listeners.
