Exciting research targeting immune cells called eosinophils that can contribute directly to symptoms of some types of asthma and COPD was more effective than standard care for flares AND better quality of life. Hope this can be adopted 🧪

This is public health at its best. In 30 seconds - 'SARS-CoV-2 continues to mutate. You will continue to be reinfected. The risk of #LongCovid increases with each infection. Ventilate rooms frequently, and wear a mask. Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Outstanding piece on Long Covid in the UK. Since we know vaccination reduces the risk of developing Long Covid, the UK government really should be massively widening access to vaccines.

BBC Radio 4 have just interviewed someone about Long Covid. Which is brilliant, I’ll take it every time BUT was a missed opportunity to educate people that Long Covid can happen to anyone and the only way to avoid it is to avoid getting (repeatedly) infected by wearing a mask and cleaning the air!

One comfort I take from history… no matter how bad it gets, there is a stubborn group of good people willing to help others survive it.
