Chris J. Maddison Oh, you mean RNA virus persistence as discussed in this paper from 2017 that no-one in the media or public health agencies read? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I got an Origami calendar for Christmas and have completed the first one, with help from my OH, today 🥳

Huge story by Health Service Journal. NHS England "has shelved priorities on long covid" and will no longer attempt to meet targets for the condition I have confirmed independently. A source tells me long covid is being "deprioritised" by the NHS hsj.co.uk/policy-and-reg… cc Long Covid Support

Going into 2023, Long Covid Support will continue to offer support to anyone affected by #LongCovid. We will continue to collaborate on research as we know that what people desperately need is treatment. #TreatLongCovid

For 2023 to be the year we end #COVID19 we must ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to vaccines 💉. The United Nations High-Level Meeting on UHC2030 will be pivotal to advance universal health coverage & the #SDGs. Check out what’s coming in this #NewYear: go.undp.org/S1YM

There would be outrage if we were admitted into a hospital hundreds of miles away from where we live for life saving treatment of a physical health condition. But there’s a deafening silence when this happens to patients with mental health conditions. And it happens far too often

An estimated 2.1 million people – 3.3% of the population – were experiencing self-reported long COVID as of 4 December 2022. ➡️ ow.ly/u23N50MiSNi

This is where more privatisation leads us. We must stop Americanisation of our #NHS Rt & tell Rishi Sunak Keir Starmer Steve Barclay Wes Streeting ❌️No to a 2 tier health service. ❌️No to more privatisation Join the movement to #RenationaliseNHS yournhsneedsyou.com

Dear The BMJ, Your latest Long Covid study suggesting signs and symptoms resolve in a year will be included in the syllabus of my research methods course as an example of how survivorship bias creates flawed conclusions and serves bad policy. You're BMJ. You can do better.

Our review of #LongCovid research is out! This was a HUGE labor of love over 10 months from Julia MV Lisa McCorkell Eric Topol & me! It includes 200+ references focusing on biomedical findings in Long Covid. I hope it educates & inspires new research! rdcu.be/c3m45

Great to see that the Houses of Parliament has had a system installed to clean the air. I'm happy for the MPs that work there. Shouldn't we be doing the same for everyone else's workplaces now? Or is it one standard for them... purifiedair.com/case-studies/t…

I talk about covid because hosp acq covid levels are obscene and the IPC guidance is based on a misinterpretation of evidence. Covid is airborne and we need IAQ in hosps, HCWs need respirators, to prevent covid being acq in hospitals by both patients and staff.

There are hundreds of thousands of publications on covid of which several thousands are on #LongCovid alone. We perfectly know how dangerous SARS-CoV-2 is. These publications, and the data shared by patients, go back to early 2020. There is no excuse to minimize this virus

Enough is enough. We are striking to protect patients, our profession, and the NHS. Add your name to our open letter and demand better from your Prime Minister.
