Isolation, loss of identity and stigma impact people with #LongCovid and increase feeling of vulnerability "It is likely that the positive impact of social group memberships may operate less effectively among those who need it the most" bmj.com/content/375/bm…

With conservative #LongCOVID prevalence estimates at 10% … we can translate todays 78,610 new U.K. #COVID19 cases into 7,861 new Long COVID diagnosis on 9th March 2022. It will likely be higher numbers, yet this mass disabling event remains absent from pandemic narratives 😔

We are very excited to be launching our new #LongCOVID educational video series this week, in partnership with Fisiocamera. Watch out for the first video coming very soon #FBLC. The video series will cover different topics. More info to be released this week 😊

Death and hospitalisation are not the only outcomes. The false dichotomy of “death Vs quick recovery”, has been a cause of delegitimising COVID causing prolonged illness. Disability and #LongCOVID remain largely ignored in the pandemic narrative, and even more so around #Omicron.

“I don’t live. I exist. My life has no spontaneity.” This is life with #LongCovid after a ‘mild’ infection March 2020. We absolutely need to #CountLongCovid Thank you @OT_Skiff for sharing your story 🙏💕
