Survivors of COVID-19, including people who were infected months ago and are still experiencing severe symptoms, organized rallies in cities across the U.S. on Saturday to encourage people to get vaccinated and wear a mask.
A person with tears in their eyes walks across the Brooklyn Bridge with other COVID survivors on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021 in New York. The flagship march is part of the largest nationwide day of awareness and action for COVID survivors. The U.S. is now averaging thousands of new COVID-19 infections a day, returning to a milestone last seen during the winter surge in yet another bleak reminder of how quickly the delta variant has spread through the country.
Schwarz recalled the painful experience in a phone interview on Friday to raise awareness about the devastating impacts of COVID-19. She and other victims of the virus, including people who were infected months ago and are still experiencing severe symptoms, organized rallies in Atlanta, New York, Washington D.C., Denver and more than a dozen other cities around the country on Saturday to encourage people to get vaccinated and wear a mask.
Schirmer, 50, of Marietta, Georgia, her husband and three children contracted the virus in March 2020, but her symptoms have not gone away even more than a year later.
