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.

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!
Rishi Sunak #LongCovid please share!

Dr Jenny Ceolta-Smith (PhD OT) Long Covid Wales 🏴 🏴 MaryR RN rtd, BA hons SW💙#FBLC I have done FOI’s to many aspects of the NHS and despite sacking hoards of staff with #LongCovid , they aren’t admitting to recording how many staff are affected. 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.
The Elephant is rampaging around the room Rishi Sunak

I actually believe the reality is much higher than this for these reasons
- Stigma
- Denial
- No appropriate testing
- Limited data collection

Conor Browne With the increasing evidence mounting up about viral persistence & long-term illness, it’s astonishing that more businesses aren’t factoring this into resilience strategies, & implementing their own Covid awareness & safety programmes.

Conor Browne Those infected with SARS in 2003 (when studied 8 years out - with no vaccines) found human health increasingly worse across the board.
People could simply not show symptoms for a while...(this happens in HIV, I believe). We knew this was possible.
