#COVID-19 Survivor Stories

Are you one of the 60 million who have had COVID-19? If so, we want to hear your story! What was your experience? Were you surprised when your positive test came back? Fearful? Anxious? Indifferent? How did the disease impact you physically? Mentally? Emotionally? Was your recovery rapid or are you still coping with lingering effects? What advice do you have now that you’re on the other side of the diagnosis? Have your perspectives changed?

The catalyst of this pandemic year is the COVID-19 virus that rapidly spread worldwide. It is a virus that does not discriminate, infecting across demographic and geographical lines. Over 60 million people worldwide have contracted AND recovered from COVID-19. These survivor stories are vital to understanding the COVID-19 experience, and the archive seeks to preserve the great diversity in the physical and mental toll of the disease on those who test positive for future generations.

Your stories are valuable, and we hope that you will share them. Tell us about your fight against COVID-19. Include pictures, videos, journals, articles, social media posts - anything that would help illustrate your unique experience with COVID-19. Your voice will be archived alongside other stories of resilience and survival during this pandemic year.

To make your story more visible, include the hashtag #isurvived with your description. Remember that submissions can be made anonymously. Questions? Email Kathryn Jue at kljue@asu.edu for more information.
