@drpoco Do it! Best thing ever. This is mine. 10 months old. You can still do lots of socialising - it’s not all about meeting other dogs and people. Get them used to being alone. There’s an excellent FB group called ‘Dog Training Advice and Support’

We are preparing for a puppy (I know, we must be mad!). Convince me this is the right decision please.

@Andrew32385819 @sainsburys @sainsburys same for me..... Website and app not working ‘down for maintenance’. Phones too busy so cut off. Half way through amending order for tomorrow....
English
@sainsburys well done. Online ordering has crashed. Just in time for a delivery tomorrow! Also no way to book for next week. I'm shielding so don't want to attend your uncontrolled stores.

@trishgreenhalgh Thanks @trishgreenhalgh. You’ve done amazing work throughout this pandemic, as well as being a great advocate for those of us with long covid. So awful to lose your Mum to the same illness. Our thoughts are with you

Covid intensive care is: hourly arterial blood samples to check oxygen levels, lines placed into arteries to sample them, lines in the jugular vein to replace electrolytes we have driven out of the body by trying to flush excess water from the lungs, lines into the neck and groin

@drkevinfernando Fab photo Kevin. Glad to see nothing changes. Where’s the trombone and YMCA action shot though 😆

2020 wasn't a year to get everything we all wanted, it was a year to appreciate everything we all had. Mainly embarrassing parents.

Our thanks to @amcarmichaelMP for raising doctors' experiences with #LongCovid in Parliament today. There needs to be far greater recognition of its lasting effect on people’s health. Read more in @TheDrMagazine: bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

Any sight of COVID19 funding support for Primary Care as we move into winter 2020? - we are already seeing increased costs for PPE , isolation cover and further adaptations to buildings. Current support offered ended 1st Aug @NikkiKF @MattHancock #primarycare

Lots of talk about 60,000 #longcovid sufferers in the UK. Are we sure about this figure @timspector? Did 90% really recover after 3 months or did their fatigue extend to daily app logging? We aren't convinced: more research needed to #countlongcovid before this number sticks

Hello @DHSCgovuk, please send a text message to every person who tested positive for covid in the Test & Trace service between its start end May till July. Ask one question: “Are you back to your baseline health status before infection?” One text. Do it and let’s #CountLongCovid
English

Asking governments to #CountLongCovid is not scaremongering. It’s fact finding. What is the % of those infected who can’t go back to their usual activities of work & care for months? All the pitching of health against the economy would be so meaningless if the % is significant.

#bmjcovid @timspector on symptoms associated with #LongCovid - persistent cough, SoB, hoarse voice, headache, gastro. They can predict who will get it with 75% accuracy #LongCovid is twice as common in females than males. Different clusters in different age groups.

Rising number of confirmed #COVID19 cases with low admissions & deaths is only good news if there was no #LongCovid. Until we understand what’s causing the prolonged ill health in some of those infected, how it can be treated & what’s the prognosis, rising infections is bad news.

“We must move long-haul COVID from anecdote to something that is routinely quantified and monitored, as is currently being done with deaths and positive tests.”

Felicity Callard@felicitycallard
Dr Nisreen Alwan @Dr2NisreenAlwan makes the crucial point that we still don't have a proper case definition for *recovery* from #COVID19. Which means we're not properly able to assess morbidity #LongCovid thelancet.com/journals/lance…

I feel like a broken record but here goes, only looking at deaths from #CV19 underestimates the pandemic implications. Many previously healthy people with #LongCovid unable to return to work/caring for months. Unless we properly measure the problem we're always playing catch up.
