This is maddening. Endemic viruses do profound harm, never mind pandemic SARS2, but they're "predictable" SARS2 evolves ~3-4x rate of fastest seasonal 'flu, H3N2 We vax kids vs flu, not SARS2, RSV or VSV (yet...JCVI recs?) Individual acute/long-term risk SCALES BY PREVALENCE

Finally someone is being real

On @CNN Looks like Trump will win God help America And the UK too when he introduces tariffs against us very soon Right wingers.. Voted Brexit to cut back UK trading with the Euro market.... & cheered on a man who'll cut back trade with USA...well done 🙄 But....the boats...or should I say the bait

We cannot airbrush the past, or pretend it’s somehow about people being woke! To fully honour our war dead, we must acknowledge and honour the sacrifices of all the brave troops from across the globe, who fought for our freedom. #WeWillRememberThem

@LongCovidKids @BPSOfficial @Occ4LifeLtd @MichaelRosenYes @SammieFMc @HelenMMGoss @baldypidge @SarahOC_MECFS @sharrie_hum @long_covid @DrMark_Faghy @BinitaKane 'children have regularly been told to avoid using wheelchairs due to the risk of 'deconditioning' So many families are questioned by HCP why isv the child in a wheelchair and who prescribed it. Thank you Kirsty for speaking up on behalf of many LC families

Great article. @DavidJoffe64 quote, "please do not psychologise ME/CFS or Long Covid...this is a direct organic, neurological condition, with a plethora of complex outcomes, including severe consequences for autonomy and quality of life." 1/6 bps.org.uk/psychologist/w…

A NEW study, involving more than 200,000 adults, found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 29% increase in risk for developing dyslipidemia, a condition involving abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood 1/

@surf4children It’s an absolute travesty Danilo. Thank you for all you are doing. The burden on very few clinicians shouldering the weight of so many sick children across Europe is real. Please look after yourself too x

Another 13yro girl initially labeled as FUNCTIONAL that had to travel from belgium to my #longcovid clinic in Rome to perform a simple test to document that simply standing up or walking in a boring hospital ward her heart rate goes up and down in a senseless way! a thread: 1/

@drclairetaylor @_CatintheHat @GwynneMP I 100% agree Claire. I have hope that he is working away in the background and will speak when he has something concrete to say.

Less than 8 months ago, back when the Tories were still in charge, a Labour MP stood up in parliament to ask a VERY important question… He demanded to know what assessment the government had made of Long Covid on the workforce. That MP was Andrew Gwynne (@GwynneMP)… 🧵
