CoinSwap Developer Chris Belcher Shares a Glimpse Into His Fight Against Severe Long Covid
Bitcoin privacy developer and Spiral grantee Chris Belcher, who has been working on Coinswap, shared an important update on his health status with a call for community aid.
- "It’s been one year since I stopped working on my Bitcoin projects. Many people donated money to me. They deserve to know what’s going on. I have severe long Covid. It has utterly destroyed my life. Made me completely disabled in body and mind. And I need help," was posted on Belcher's work diary.
"I’ve got important work to do. I shouldn’t be in this dark room for another day, let alone for the next several years or decades which is how long this disease lasts."
- "Near the start of Covid, when patients were filling up hospitals there was a series of rapid trials and in only a few weeks they found widely available medications that turned out to work well for acute covid. The same kind of thing should happen now for long covid."
- "The long covid space has plenty of ideas for stuff to try (for example this long covid researcher, this patient advocate). So if anyone reading this has any kind of influence then I urgently need your help."
