Here to give unsolicited advice to strangers in replies?

Don't know their age, health, experiences, knowledge, background... basically anything about them, but assume they know less than you & you'll 'help' them.

Feel free to fuck off with your patronising, unhelpful shit from my mentions😎💜

If a patient catches a virus from
a hospital and dies from it, is it ok?

Not in my books it is not. What’s the patient charter for? Why is nobody following science?

Time to resurrect the real public health!!!

The most spectacular use of the word “most” to minimise a disease that persisted at two years in 30% of all kids that had symptoms at three months.

That is a massive number of kids *not recovered*.

So roughly 30% of LC Kids are still stuffed at 2 years...

Re-infections make this considerably worse.

WTAF are we doing to the children of our world?

Your regular reminder that a subgroup of long COVID and ME patients do not respond to exercise with muscle hypertrophy.

Instead, they get muscle necrosis.

This means exercise can make them worse.

Here's my take on #COVID-19 (the disease not the pandemic).

It's not what you think it is ...

A plea to maskless health-care workers from vulnerable patients.

"If your trauma is so severe that you can’t mask for a vulnerable patient – or worse, you lash out at a patient for masking – then you need to carefully assess whether you should be in a patient-facing role."

For those expressing their view that EVERYONE is at equal risk from covid I can tell you NO they are not. Yes there are long term risks for everyone, like LC, but for people living with heart, lung, immune, autoimmune + other conditions Covid is more likely to kill us or badly worsen our conditions
