Every time we read or hear @RishiSunak , @Jeremy_Hunt and others talking about getting sick people back to work we think about the thousands of healthcare workers now disabled and unable to work due to Long Covid because of the lack of RPE and HEPA filters. #NHSHeroToZero

We wholly reject the idea that it is the public duty of sick and disabled people to work when they're unable to do so. It's the public duty of *the Government* to look after people when they're sick and disabled.
