Do you remember 'the lockdowns' in England?
They were so terrible.
You could:
Go shopping in supermarkets every day.
Go for a walk, run, or cycle every day.
Send your kids to school every weekday, if you were an essential worker, or if they were vulnerable, or if you asked the…

A good overview highlighting both the lack of data, and the worrying implications of the data we do have: including many of the likely reasons Long Covid's true impact is underreported in employment figures.

Piece in The Lancet on #LongCovid coding in electronic health records in England:

“Of 6405 participants with data… 896 (14%) self-reported #LongCovid … Among these 896 participants, just 48 (5·4%) were identified as having long COVID-related codes in EHRs”

There are differences between supporting people to stay in work to supporting people to return to work ( or new work) after long term sickness absence or an exit from work, or starting work for the first time, but it feels like #DWP see it all the same just now? Am I wrong?

As one of the nurses affected by this, knowing other Keyworkers also affected by this ableist behaviour by government & employers we have a message for you: #YouClappedUsNowBackUs Still NO compensation for those whose careers DESTROYED by THEIR health & safety failures

Profound immune dysfunction, t-cell exhaustion, dysautonomia & SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence in bone marrow... I think NIHR Research owes #LongCovid patients an apology for blowing millions on obesity/diet shake, CBT & exercise studies back in 2021, & doing next to nothing since.

I was so grateful to be invited to the unveiling of the ‘The Tree of Memories’ 🌳 💛 a stained glass window which is dedicated to North West Workers who died from #Covid & those living with #LongCovid
Unveiled by NW Covid bereaved families 💛 Thank you
Solidarity & Love to all

Someone tell the PM that the issue with sick(fit) notes is not the notes themselves but the deteriorating health of the nation. The PM address should’ve been about how to improve population health & reduce the health determinants gap not about punitive measures for the sick.

My husband saw 2 GPs with cardiac changes post Covid who had to google the connection as they didn’t know it was possible. The misinformation in medical circles is worryingly common.

From the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Covid infection-
‘Most reported symptom … was a runny nose, followed by a cough. Other common symptoms were tiredness, a sore throat and a headache.

And yet, this is what the NHS says…

We should still test & isolate!

Do you ever find yourself struggle to catch your breath, taking a deep breath or taking a bunch of breaths between words when talking?

That’s known as air hunger.

Here's a good reason from Dr. Scheldon Kress on why some patients with Dysautonomia suffer with this.

This is one of the many messages I’ve had regarding the lack of information about the damage Covid can do. Thanks for sharing K8

This is the reality of post covid conditions

From early days there were many of us campaigning for this data to be recorded. Now we have to rely on weak data 😞

2 million people in England and Scotland with #LongCovid
What are the figures for Wales and Northern Ireland?

The fact is the numbers are increasing as are the the numbers economically inactive.
