TIME: 'Did the Pandemic Break Our Brains?' 'COVID-19 has been linked to serious cognitive problems, including dementia and suicidal thinking. And brain fog, a common symptom of Long COVID, can be so profound that people are unable to live the lives...' time.com/7021575/covid-…

PulseToday NHSE asks GPs to square circle, nail jelly to a tree, turn water into wine… If patients need admission, they need admission. Are they asking GPs to avoid admitting potentially very sick people, shouldering more medicolegal risk and putting patients in harm’s way?

sorry i know it’s really weird of me to not want to get this 10x :/

I mean public health could just be honest about SARS-CoV2 spread, re-introduce masks in healthcare, tell people to ventilate buildings & wear a mask in public spaces for a start … would cut-down on ALL airborne disease. Just a thought.

How, long will it take before the audit team finds out what happened to the €19M ? Jennifer Whitmore TD 327 children are waiting for their spinal surgeries - they need more from the Minister for Health than hearing he is "deeply frustrated" #Dáil #Backus #HelpHarvey

Damien English is a symbol of hope for incompetents all over the world.

“Without more public or private investment, it’s unclear how research can proceed. The small corner of the private sector that has endeavored to take on #LongCovid is slowly becoming a graveyard.”

“At least 4 companies that were developing LC treatments have shut down because of.. lack of finances. Others are evaluating a shift away from #LongCovid.” “Levy says the company tried to communicate with NIH RECOVER multiple times but never heard back” cen.acs.org/pharmaceutical…

“What I know is that nobody wants to hear about COVID. When you say the name COVID, it’s bad . . ., but #LongCovid is not going anywhere, because COVID-19 is endemic. It will stay. At some point, everyone will realize that we have to do more for it.”

Dr Noor Bari You will love this. Was admitted to AandE this week. Doctor ( unmasked) why are you wearing a mask? Me. Oh following WHO guidelines. Silence

As parents and part of the Scoliosis Advocacy Network, we were deeply disturbed by An Taoiseach’s angry response to Mary Lou McDonald in the Dáil yesterday. His frustration was misdirected at her, not the system that has failed children like Harvey. It’s not Simon Harris TD role
