long island is too big to define. brooklyn, queens, nassau, and suffolk are all part of long island (i don't care what you say- its a fact). also, there is a very big difference between each of these counties. towns like new hyde park, floral park, elmont, south floral park, and bellerose are both in nassau and queens in a more urban environment. many suffolk towns are surrounded by farms (riverhead) or million dollar beach houses (hamptons).
it takes about 3 hours to get from the hamptons to brooklyn, so to make a general description is really stupid. for instance, my house in long island is closer to stamford or fairfield, conn. then it is to the hamptons, riverhead, or jamesport in suffolk.

Get the long islandmug. Whoa whoa, first of all, Long Island is not part of the city or most definitely, not part of upstate New York. Furthermore, there is a huge difference between Nassau and Suffolk, North shore and South shore. The Hamptons are basically a separate entity altogether. Billy Joel said it best: either you date a rich girl from the North Shore or a cool girl from the South shore. Except North Shore girls are actually cooler...but South shore beaches are the best (Robert Moses field 4!). We live for the summers...beer bqs and the beach. People who hate Long Island are just jealous. Who wouldn't want to live on the water, have a gorgeous house, and drive a sweet car. We can go to NYC whenever we want (even though we never do). We could probably single handedly support Abercrombie, Polo, and Lily Pullitzer. Long Island is far superior to everywhere else.

Get the long islandmug. Island that extends from Queens to Suffolk County. Covers a large area of multicultural mixes. Suffolk County contains more than just the Hamptons and is not all rich or all poor. It is south and east of NYC. Although two parts of NYC are on the island the whole island is not part of the city. That is like saying Disneyworld is all of Forida, or Boston is the only city in MA.
However it does have the world's Biggest parking lot commonly known as the LIE.
Also some LIers are from NYC but not all and all LIers are New Yorkers.

Get the Long Runemug. A pandemic victim for which the negative impacts to their health and related symptoms persist for months or years after being infected with the virus.
A long-hauler with prolonged suffering from Covid-19 seems to go unnoticed by many in part because they are bed ridden and in social isolation.
