We need drugs trials targeted for bed ridden patients Focusing on mild even moderate homies who can make the mission to a hospital regularly is not going to do any of us the justice we deserve. The most severe will keep being left behind. This is where we should be starting

Whew. I just filmed another #LongCovid interview with @NewshubNZ. Hoping it will be on the 6pm news tonight. Went well but I’m feeling a bit of a PEM crash coming on. So I’m heading back to lie on my bed and rest.
