“Health safety is vital. Long COVlD has been devastating and life-altering. It led to my diagnosis of Celiac disease—as COVlD-19 can disrupt the gut microbiome and trigger autoimmune conditions in those with a genetic predisposition.”—Behind the KN95 respirators is Erin Kay (Erin Kay), Founder of Claiming Disability, with her husband at the Swan Lake Ballet. Erin was born with Cerebral Palsy—a neurological condition affecting her mobility that requires her to use a walker and wheelchair. She was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease due to Long COVlD, causing her severe fatigue, worsening pain, and significant gastrointestinal issues.
 
Erin shared her reality to raise awareness with .
 
“Despite strict dietary changes—cutting gluten, dairy, tomatoes, and various additives—I still experience severe flares, making dining out impossible. I am currently awaiting an appointment with a GI specialist to help manage these ongoing symptoms. Navigating a new chronic illness alongside a lifelong disability has required a major adjustment in my daily energy and routine.”
 
Erin strongly advocates for masking for anyone who is medically able.
 
“Masking is a form of community care. Masking Saves Disabled Lives. It’s such a simple act of kindness and accessibility. My husband, a community college professor teaching future Respiratory Therapists, also masks regularly during patient care to demonstrate proper medical safety. While I recognize that some individuals in the disabled community cannot wear a mask due to medical conditions, this makes it even more essential for those who can mask to do so. Show you really care about the disabled community. Do something to ACTUALLY PROTECT your community.”

07/10/2026

What causes persistent Long COVlD respiratory problems like cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, alongside crushing fatigue? Immune overreaction causes lung inflammation, leading to scarring (fibrosis) or nodules [1]. This stems from the activation of innate immune cells (IL-6, CD47, and pJUN) and genetic changes that promote deep lung scarring [15, 24].
 
Over 17.2% to 31% of infections trigger acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which frequently leaves behind pulmonary fibrosis [4-15]. This scarring alters cell regeneration and dysregulates immune responses, affecting 17% of severe cases with a 44.9% prevalence in tissue reviews [4, 8].
 
Lung damage also primes tissue for serious chronic conditions:
 
CANCER RISKS
Hospitalized COVlD patients face a 1.24-fold (24%) increased risk of lung cancer, regardless of smoking history or comorbidities [3a, 3b, 3c]. The virus reprograms immune cells, damaging the epithelium and creating a pro-tumor environment [3b, 3c]. This inflammation— combined with tissue stiffness, low oxygen, and lost ACE2 protection— removes shields against tumor growth [2, 5, 9 -13]. Viral proteins interacting with host cells also drive tumor-related pathways that accelerate cancer progression [7].
 
ASTHMA RISKS
• New-Onset cases:
Post-viral injury drives asthma. Health records show COVlD significantly increases risks for allergic conditions [19]. Infected patients are up to 4.55 times more likely to develop new-onset asthma, with a 27% higher risk persisting months later [16, 20,22].
• Exacerbation:
For pre-existing asthmatics, 56% developed Long COVID—73.7% reported worse breathing and 34% needed more daily medication [17,18].
 
New-onset asthma and airflow blockages are the hidden root causes of Long COVlD respiratory symptoms like chronic cough and dyspnea [23]. Even healthy young adults face sudden asthma after mild cases [21]. SARS-CoV-2 can dysregulate an immune response that over-activates eosinophils, permanently leaving airways hypersensitive.
 
Prevention:
Researchers urge patients to monitor for cancer and asthma. Preventing infection is the best protection. Clean the air. Use N95 masks.
