#LongCOVID is one dark miserable end of the COVID spectrum - which has never been 'just' a cold.

#LongCOVID has no cure, as yet. So, driven by desperation, and an understandable desire to improve their quality of life, those highlighted in this paper have turned to research. More needs to be done, including managing the airborne risk of transmission.

Recommendation 🇺🇸@CDCgov advisory group
‘Many were swayed by data, including those on #LongCovid, showing that NO group is at LOW risk from the virus.’
We need to stop the spread.

A majority of British voters now believe Brexit was a mistake.
A mistake our children will be paying for, for years to come. A selfish, short-sighted decision, rooted in racism and xenophobia. The world is in a dangerous place, what a time to be isolated.

No one could have predicted this. Universal mask wearing in hospitals significantly reduces hospital-acquired respiratory infections.

Covid hasn't gone away - more hospitals are likely to follow suit, and return to a common-sense approach - to protect staff, patients and visitors, from risks associated with spreading this #airborne virus. Not least, developing #LongCOVID post infection.

Can’t we now agree that #SARSCoV2, the virus that causes the disease known as Covid-19, is transmitted through the air, by what is simply described as #airborne transmission?
Distance travelled depends on various factors, good ventilation reduces the risk.

COVID is underreported, testing less common; but people are still being infected and infecting others [because of the lack of testing / health protections, e.g. vaccine, ventilation and face protection], being hospitalised, and worse. #LongCOVID @TribLIVE

Over 100,000 patients admitted to hospitals in England since 1 Jun 2023, who had COVID-19, plus those diagnosed in hospital with C19 in previous 24hrs.
