Really important that as many people as possible sign to show @rcpsych that their #LongCovid conference panel is platforming positions that are contrary to the overwhelming evidence on LC.

After a slight delay.. our new article:
Current status and future perspectives on the mechanistic and pathophysiological understanding of long COVID

Great 🧵👍
Should be routine to ask for history of recent infection AND Covid history in MSK consultations

Viruses and Joint and Tendon Pain You had a cold two weeks ago. Nothing serious. But now your knee hurts more than it has in months. Your achilles is flaring. Your easy run felt like a half-marathon. You didn't do anything wrong. Here's what's actually happening...

The biggest mistake active people make after a viral illness is returning to their normal training load too soon. You're not out of shape. You're inflamed. Your mitochondria aren't producing energy efficiently. Your tendons aren't ready to absorb force. Pushing through will often extend the timeline, not shorten it.

STUART TREE: 1979 - 2026
It is with deep sadness that we bring you the news that Stuart Tree passed away suddenly this morning, at the age of 46.
Stuart was, to many, the soul of Corinthian-Casuals Football Club in the modern era. His passion, energy and stunningly talented creative mind transformed the club’s image and his friendly nature meant that all newcomers were made to feel welcome by him.
His photography brought the world of non-league world vividly to life, capturing its very essence, and his dedication to Casuals has ensured that our story is known the world over thanks to his pioneering use of social media in its early days.
More than anything, he is a friend to everyone at the club and so many in Tolworth, Surbiton and the surrounding area. A true gentle giant, he stood 6ft 8in tall but was entirely unintimidating, a warm-hearted figure who brought people together and came to be a pillar of our club and community.
This place will quite simply not be the same without him.

The Inquiry recognised that reporting of HCW deaths under the RIDDOR Regulations for reporting occupational disease should be better.
Sadly it didn't address the failure to report occupational infections which don’t cause deaths but leave HCWs crippled with Long-COVID.

@Rebeccasmt If the NHS focussed a little MORE on airborne infection control and a little LESS on presenteeism, they wouldn’t have such an enormous ongoing issue with sickness absence.
Encouraging sick staff to come to work just spreads the illness to others.
A perfect vicious circle ⭕️

If NHS staff have Covid symptoms, they are told they don’t need to test & should still go to work. If they go against guidance by testing & it’s POSITIVE, they should *still* go to work & just wear a flimsy surgical mask which does not protect against airborne transmission.

Today is #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay!
Here’s my top 3 things to remember about Long COVID:
1. Covid is NOT over; people continue to develop Long COVID
2. Cumulative risk of Long COVID increases with each infection
3. Prevention is better than cure, especially when there is no cure
WHO/Europe@WHO_Europe
Long COVID hasn’t disappeared. People continue to develop it after new infections—yet the myth that it’s “over” still persists. Bára’s story shows the reality: after her 3rd COVID‑19 infection in 2025, she became house‑bound with severe fatigue and heart issues.

Before infection, our members chose how to use each heartbeat.
Now #LongCovid limits what each beat can be used for.

A further FoI request was submitted to UKHSA on 9 Oct 2025, over 5 MONTHS ago.
The document requested has *still* not been disclosed, despite multiple chasers from CATA representatives.

ARHAI (Antimicrobial Resistance & Healthcare Associated Infection) were a key player in helping to draft the Covid IPC guidance.
They claimed the HSE had ‘approved’ the UK IPC guidance…
…but HSE deny this.
One can’t help but wonder if the HSE did not agree with the guidance?

I can’t help but see the British preoccupation with “overdiagnosis” as the flailing of a culture that has given up on the clinical mission of addressing the full spectrum of human distress and disability, because they think they can’t afford to provide the needed care (scarcity), because some people ought to suffer (stoicism), and because some people are only pretending to suffer (malingering).
