The faces in
the fog of 'long COVID'
Long COVID sufferer
Nuria Sepulveda, a 44-year-old
self-employed worker who co-owns a
courier franchise, poses for a
photograph taken through blue
plastic, in Madrid, Spain, April 9,
2021. The photograph was taken
through blue plastic to visualise
the effects of long COVID. Sepulveda
got sick on March 12, 2020, during
the first wave of the disease, and
she had to visit the emergency room
on several occasions for symptoms
that ended up being diagnosed as
double pneumonia, bowel bleeding and
urine infection among others. She
tried to return to work in November,
but the fatigue was so overwhelming
that "3 hours of work felt like a
12-hour work day." An avid sports
practitioner, she remembers the
exact date her body gave her some
relief to get back on the bicycle.
"When I felt the fatigue that had
been dragging me down for months was
getting a bit better, I got my bike
out. It was September, 28. I will
never forget it, it was the first
day I was able to practice sports
again. I couldn't help crying," she
said. Sepulveda believes we have two
lives, the second one starts when we
realise we only have one.
