This. We’re not terrified of covid, we just don’t want it. Just like we protect ourselves from lots of other things. Still wearing seatbelts, still washing hands after prepping raw chicken, still wearing a mask to prevent covid. It’s not difficult to understand is it?

This is what I don’t understand - how can people not understand what’s going on?! You’re being asked not to test not because it’s not necessary but because they don’t want you linking your new health problems to covid. Wake up!!!
No one is looking out for staff. It’s not for your convenience that you don’t ‘have’ to test anymore. It means you cannot claim against your work for your health being destroyed overnight.

This 👇🏼 it’s not ‘brain fog’, it’s brain damage. It’s been over 3 years since my neuro issues began. They are only getting worse as time passes, not better. All the things mentioned below feel very familiar. And more. Comparing it to perimenopause (what we’re told) - what a joke
Today I learned that I have completely underestimated and misunderstood brain-fog post COVID - and it is terrifying.
In my mind I kind of had this impression that COVID brain-fog was just feeling a little bit forgetful or feeling very tired, and my god I was very, very wrong.

Told a doctor yesterday we are entering another wave. They said ‘yes I know, our care homes are full of it’. I asked if their practice would reintroduce masking. Met with a very aggressive ‘No!’. This behaviour is not normal folks. Do HCWs genuinely believe covid is like flu??
England, latest official ONS COVID report. Clear uptick like we’re at the beginning of another wave.
Which is surprising given we’re into year 5 and surely there’s widespread and robust population immunity by now!

The ongoing pandemic you mean? Something has gone wrong, yes - unmitigated spread of an airborne virus that has turned tens of thousands of highly qualified, highly skilled professionals into the ‘economically inactive’. This will continue indefinitely if covid is not addressed.
'Since the pandemic, something has gone wrong'
Rishi Sunak says 850,000 more people are now economically inactive in the UK since Covid - and not calling out this 'worrying trend' for 'fear of causing offence' would be unjust

Not really tricky at all. If your child is ill, they should be off school. Let’s not pretend this is about children’s health or education - it’s about getting parents in work & dumping their sick kids (to infect everyone else’s).

Cut out all processed foods (paleo), including no alcohol. Within 3 months was off antidepressants (which I’d been cycling on/off 15 yrs) & physical/mental transformation. I became more curious (& critical). Began yoga/meditation & morning sunlight. 8 yrs on now so sustainable.

Of course I’m the only one in an FFP3 (or any mask) in the GP surgery.

It’s mind-blowing that people would rather be ill over & over (not just with covid) rather than simply wearing a respirator in crowded places. Even wilder that they need to hear it from our government to know what to do 🤷🏼♀️
Should we wear masks again? UK virus cases rise as Spain restores Covid rules

On declining a family Xmas invite …
Them: ‘but you’re safe with us’
Me: ‘Actually it’s the least safe space for all of us’
A group of about 12 who don’t take precautions, don’t test, won’t isolate for the 3 day indoor gathering, at the worst time of the year. Hard pass 🦠

This could’ve happened to me over Christmas. Family ‘well we’ll test on the day’. No thanks. Guess what? 3 families who met up over Christmas/NY now all have covid & still suffering today. That would’ve been my family 💯 if I hadn’t have held my nerve & said ‘No’

The irony that I was a Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher, ate wholefood keto, ran every day with my dog at 6am, was doing my PhD in mindfulness and now can’t walk around my village since having long covid. These idiots can fuck right off!
I’d be interested to know how many people who are too unwell to work are well enough to join a running club. 🤔

For those who don’t have access to the BMJ. It’s not really a Q is it? We know we’ve been in a summer wave since the start of June yet only now are doctors being told about it & recommendations being made. Masks in healthcare would’ve helped reduce this wave. How much LC to come?

Hearing lots of positive covid tests over the last month and that’s just the people who still test (& take more precautions than most). Long Covid in children numbers in England have nearly doubled in a year. Kids can’t consent to this. Where is the rage???
Told a doctor yesterday we are entering another wave. They said ‘yes I know, our care homes are full of it’. I asked if their practice would reintroduce masking. Met with a very aggressive ‘No!’. This behaviour is not normal folks. Do HCWs genuinely believe covid is like flu??

Why won’t doctors mention covid??
There's no such thing as a 'sick note culture' - but there is a broken NHS, a meteoric rise in food banks, falling life expectancy, rising infant mortality, kids too hungry to learn, endemic poverty.

Kids are persistently absent from school currently due to illness, driven by covid! My child in his GCSE year has taken 5 days off in 11 yrs. Since covid began he’s been off in the months between Sept-March for up to 4 days every 3/4 weeks! He loves school, covid is harming kids!
The Government is ramping up a campaign to cut down the number of pupils regularly missing school - after figures show that 1 in 5 students are persistently absent.
But, is it the parent's responsibility to make sure kids go to school everyday?

Wholefood/paleo eater, daily exerciser, countryside dweller, never smoked, don’t drink, meditator etc etc - was thriving at 40. SARS-CoV2 has (& continues to) obliterate my health; can’t work, can’t exercise, struggle to drive, struggle to cook. Ignore this pandemic at your peril
Latest health & benefits stats are sobering. Britain is sick and fed up. No point scapegoating NHS. We must address underlying causes of booming disease burden.

Quite incredible that what is happening at the olympics is not all over mainstream news.
Also, why are all the clinicians staying silent? Speak up! 🗣
I'm not young. I've never seen this in my entire life at any Olympic event. Not even close.
This cannot become normalized. The Olympics should not become a last-person-standing from illness event.

In BMJ this week - So why aren’t our HCPs masking for patients (& themselves)? Hospital acquired covid was 74% in Wales last month. Obviously we don’t know about England because they’ve got no data 🙃

I’ve had a couple of good Long Covid symptom days so we decided to go to the beach today. Not living in fear, still doing the things I love … the only difference is I don’t eat out, I take my own food & mask if I go into public loos (or am near another person). Not a big deal 🤷🏼♀️

Clean the air like you do in government departments & watch the absences decrease. Parents are starting to realise the damage that covid is causing to their children (& the spreading from the children to themselves). We will not send our children to school to spread this disease.
Time in the classroom is important and even small moments in a school day make a real difference to children's lives. Increases in persistent absence have been reported as a post-pandemic challenge in schools around the world.
1/5 🧵 Here’s how we're improving school attendance

Friends toddler blue lighted in unresponsive. Mum was covid positive week earlier so had tested child too (also positive). On arriving at hospital mum told staff child was covid positive, they were annoyed she’d tested 🤷🏼♀️ We need staff to speak out about what their orders are.

For people that think you need to have severe acute covid infection or think if you are fine after your 1st, 2nd, 3rd infection you won’t get long covid, you’re mistaken. These are our kids people 👇🏼

I often wonder whether it would make a difference if people knew how many people they as an individual had disabled or killed. Whenever I say that to people they laugh or eye roll. I’m not sure why it’s funny?

Ok, so due an MRI soon. Wondering what peoples experiences of using MRI safe respirators has been? Any resistance or refusal to let you wear them due to not being convinced they’re MRI safe for example?

People are totally oblivious to this. Not putting these problems down to covid at all. I’ve lost two teeth so far (no problems previous). Awful TMJ pain & clicking & since infection 4 weeks ago my son is complaining of stiff, painful jaw 😞
Most waves seem to cause teeth and gum and jaw problems, but this wave seems to be one of the ones that is causing *more* teeth and gum and jaw problems. 😔

I don’t have FB so can’t comment on engagement there but, I’ve started raising covid awareness on IG stories (after unblocking lots of people - yes they now lurk on every post 👀) & I’ve starting getting DMs for more info on covid & how to prevent it. Keep speaking out!
