I got a virus video

A short film by people with ME and experts, warning of the long term consequences viruses can have.

Thank you to Professor Chris Ponting and Dr Nina Muirhead for their expert testimony, and to the many people with ME who submitted videos to be part of this.After the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people living with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and other chronic illnesses will grow. Debilitating symptoms won’t resolve, and physical isolation won’t end. We are the #MillionsMissing, and we call for an urgent response to mitigate this coming crisis. 

The time to educate healthcare workers, invest in biomedical research and treatments, and expand accessibility is now. For many years the treatment recommended to people with ME in the UK has harmed a majority who undergo it. We need change now.Watch the whole film now on YouTube:
