When members of our team fell ill in March, we relied on each other for emotional support. In creating the COVID-19 support group, we wanted to provide others with that same opportunity to feel connected and supported through infection, symptoms, and recovery. As we continue to navigate the healing process, we could not be more grateful for the support group. It’s been beautiful to watch others struggling with COVID-19 find community amidst isolation, affirm each other’s experiences, and talk one another through tough nights. The group continues to be a source of strength and light in our lives, and we want to sincerely thank everyone who has been a part of this incredible community.

Body Politic started the COVID-19 support group after Founder and EIC Fiona Lowenstein, and Creative Director Sabrina Bleich became sick with coronavirus in early March. After falling ill, we quickly realized that there was not enough online content or resources dedicated to people struggling with coronavirus. As we scrolled through Instagram feeds filled with tips on navigating boredom during quarantine, or how not to catch the virus, we felt increasingly isolated, misunderstood, and ignored. With news of infection rates rising, we knew a community of people like ourselves existed, and was growing - we just needed a way to reach each other.

We launched the Body Politic COVID-19 support group on March 26 in a small Instagram group chat. During those early days, while Fiona and Sabrina were still navigating acute physical symptoms, our incredible Operations Manager and ally, Lida Rubanava, stepped in to help us develop the group - she’s been an indispensable member of the support group admin team ever since. Since our launch, we’ve had over 25,000 people sign up to join our patient-only support group (which currently houses close to 11,000 members) and our Ally Support Network. We have migrated platforms to Slack to accommodate the growth and allow for small discussion channels based on community or topic. Our group consists of people from all over the world who have tested positive, are experiencing symptoms, or are recovering from COVID-19. Our discussion groups includes 50+ channels for based around different communities and topics. Some of our channels include one for those symptomatic for 30+ days or 90+ days, caretakers of sick friends or relatives, those who have recovered from being on ventilators, those experiencing known and lesser known symptom groups such as respiratory, neurological, GI, and others, and forums to discuss mental health, financial and employment concerns, medical advocacy, along with many others.

If you have tested positive, are experiencing symptoms, or are recovering from COVID-19, you can sign up for our support group here. We just need to know a little bit about what you’re going through to verify that you’re a real person in need of support, but all information you share on that form is private and will only be accessible to admins of the group. Due to extremely high demand, it may take us up to a week to add you to the platform but we promise you will hear from us.

Old English slæc 'remiss, lax, characterized by lack of energy, sluggish, indolent, languid; slow, gentle, easy,' from Proto-Germanic *slakas (source also of Old Saxon slak, Old Norse slakr, Old High German slah 'slack,' Middle Dutch lac 'fault, lack'), from PIE root *sleg- 'be slack, be languid.'

Sense of 'not tight' (in reference to things) is first recorded c. 1300. As an adverb from late 14c. Slack-key (1975) translates Hawaiian ki ho'alu. Slack water (n.) 'time when tide is not flowing' is from 1769. Slack-handed 'remiss' is from 1670s. Slack-baked 'baked imperfectly, half-baked' is from 1823; figuratively from 1840.

slack (n.1)

Online

early 14c., 'cessation' (of pain, grief, etc.), from slack (adj.). Meaning 'a cessation of flow in a current or tide' is from 1756; that of 'still stretch of a river' is from 1825. Meaning 'loose part or end' (of a rope, sail, etc.) is from 1794; hence figurative senses in take up the slack (1930 figuratively) and slang cut (someone) some slack (1968). Meaning 'quiet period, lull' is from 1851. Slacks 'loose trousers' first recorded 1824, originally military.

slack (n.2)

'coal dust,' mid-15c., sleck, of uncertain origin, probably related to Middle Dutch slacke, Middle Low German slecke 'slag, small pieces left after coal is screened,' perhaps related to slagge 'splinter flying off metal when it is struck' (see slag (n.)).

slack (v.)

1510s, 'to moderate, make slack,' back-formed from slack (adj.) after the original verb veered into the specialized sense of slake. Meaning 'be remiss, inactive or idle, fail to exert oneself' is attested from 1540s; current use is probably a re-coining from c. 1904 (see slacker, and compare Old English slacful 'lazy,' sleacmodnes 'laziness').
