Welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of the Long Covid Hope Podcast! In this episode, we are joined by Giorgia Lupi, an award winning Italian information designer and partner at a NYC design firm Pentagram. Giorgia caught Covid in March 2020 and developed Long Covid, which worsened after vaccinations and also a reinfection in 2022.
Giorgia has painstaking recorded all of the data around her symptoms and recovery journey, which formed the basis of the incredible Op Ed for the New York Times she did, 'My Life with Long Covid' covering 1374 days of Long Covid - and becoming a celebrity in long hauler circles in the same moment! She has since recovered a great deal and is sharing her recovery story with me in this episode. You can also find her discussing this in her recent TED Talk 'What Long Covid Taught me about Life (And Data)'.
This episode is also infused with Reiki from Sarah. If you are interested and would like to accept the healing, simply state out loud that you welcome the healing energy. If not, never mind!
