My 92 yr old mum just tested positive for Covid. Why the hell aren't there any mitigations out there? Why is there no awareness campaign? I now have to worry about her, my 93 yr old dad, my sister, a friend w/MND, my vulnerable partner & myself #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

Dear @robbiewilliams Were you aware that there are more people in the UK living with #LongCovid than there are following you on Twitter? We thought you were one of them and we originally reached out because we care but you were just 'having a laugh'. Long Covid is no joke.

I got Covid before lockdown was implemented. I have #LongCovid . If @BorisJohnson had done what he was meant to do - 'safeguarding the life and health of UK citizens' - 10s of 1,000s wouldn't have died or become disabled. Despicable. Callous. Repulsive. Ignorant. Selfish.

Today we found out that @BorisJohnson scrawled 'BOLLOCKS’ across a @DHSCgovuk document about #LongCovid He admitted in his witness statement that he didn’t believe that #LongCovid ‘truly existed’ We now know that he thought it should be dismissed as a form of ‘Gulf War Syndrome’

@BBCMorningLive @xandvt V confusing and v wrong messaging. One day you talk about Covid being less dangerous (which it isn't) and the next, and on many occasions, you talk about #LongCovid and the debilitating longterm symptoms. Covid is still dangerous. It's not guaranteed that you will fully recover.

@BootstrapCook Low histamine and anti inflammatory foods and drinks. Reduce sugar and carb intake. Plenty of water. Tart cherry juice is helping some of us. Electrolytes helping others.

@JAMA_current Given that the article posted was dated 10 July I think you need to do a bit of #LongCovid research to bring yourself up to date with what 1,000s are going through and your very dangerous, out of date guidance!

@PaulGarnerWoof Agree 100% on managing expectations. Having taken the sound advice from @SepsisUK and @DrRobCopeland I am now in a much better place mentally for a well paced #LongCovid recovery mindset lasting well into 2021. Couldn't do it without the wonderful @long_covid Facebook group.

"It's now 5 months and I still have persistent and residual symptoms". Former Professional Athlete Dr Tamsin Lewis says she's been "reduced to her knees" for months by COVID-19, saying there's "thousands" of people just like her. JJ #KayBurley

@BootstrapCook The #LongCovid community really wish they had been given the following advice at the start of their journeys - even if you feel better, whatever you do, rest, rest and rest some more. Recover well and reach out to @long_covid if you need support x

@j_b_kennedy Blocked from our group a long, long time ago. Horrendous that he is able to get in to and stay in others. Let's hope he isn't data mining ....

UK policy decisions throughout the pandemic were not informed by the prevalence and risk of #LongCovid . Did Hancock's evidence at the #UKCovidInquiry give any insight into what went wrong? @selkieO @LongCovidSOS

This is how people with #LongCovid describe it. We can't leave people with such a life-changing illness untreated Clinics were announced a year ago but provision is patchy and often inadequate, not due to lack of will, but lack of resourcing It's time to properly #TreatLongCovid
