"Isolate if you have Covid symptoms but negative PCR, says local health official." I've been having Covid symptoms but 2 negative PCRs. My son had a positive PCR before my symptoms started and is still symptomatic. What on earth is going on in the UK?

I just read that 900000 people have been fully vaccinated against Covid in Germany, ie had both doses of a vaccine. How many people have had *two* doses of a #COVID19 vaccine in the UK? @TigressEllie

100 days of #Covid today for me unless I'm mistaken. 16 March 2020 was the start of mild symptoms, from 23 March it went downhill. Left now with dizzy spells, shortness of breath, fatigue, headaches, swollen & painful glands etc. Will I ever fully recover? #covid1in20

Post COVID-19 brain-related symptoms may be common, study indicates. Neurologist, Dr. Hellmuth "If I didn't know in advance if one of my patients had HIV or COVID, I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference between the two it's so similar." #LongCovid

Problems remembering conversations and slower processing speeds are all symptoms some are experiencing, a new study shows.

@educationgovuk @ChristmasRowena @NHSuk Meanwhile in Germany, by way example,,parents can stay at home and look after their children when they are unwell and still be paid 90% of their net salary rather than pretending that unwell children aren’t unwell. This little video feels like satire.

@JimBethell @ONS @hmtreasury @OBR_UK @xandvt @BrineMP Wakey, wakey. Every Covid infection weakens your immune system. I have Long Covid and work fully but only because I was (i) lucky!, (ii) have private healthcare and don't need to rely on NHS and (iii) can work fully remote. If one of these fell away, I'd be in this statistic.

Anyone else finding the spin in the UK really exhausting: Covid over and UK is making it really easy for Ukrainian refugees with family in the UK to get a visa. Is anyone believing either?

@elisaperego78 So much for the silly herd immunity approach. This is a reinfection. I won't be able to forgive the UK government for abandoning all precautions in schools. It took 3 days. I feel so let down. My referral to #LongCovid clinic from February 21 also still outstanding. Very poor.

@UKHSA France has already evaluated before you even start and is starting its Covid vaccination campaign early, everyone who wants to be vaccinated will be. In the U.K. the JCVI said vaccinating folks under 65 is not “cost effective”. You are failing us.

UK: you must send your children to school, even if they are ill. Also UK: big measles outbreak UK: Children don't need a Covid booster & children are more likely to be hit by a bus than catch Covid. Also UK: over 200 children died of ('with') Covid, over 60000 with Long Covid.

#LongCovid 'could become a bigger health problem than excess deaths' Thank you @MetroUK for this. This is what #longcvoid patients have been saying for months. Most of us are young(ish) & without any underlying health conditions.

Long Covid 'could become a bigger health problem than excess deaths'

The symptoms of long Covid include breathlessness, chronic fatigue and brain fog months after falling ill with the virus.

@DavorJordacevic No it can't; it can perhaps predict a likelihood. Until someone actually does something, there is no crime. You don't have the be a lawyer to realise how slippery this slope is.

Just watched @hendrikstreeck 's comments about #covid and #longcovid . Summarized: mild cases don't seem to cause long term effects & in moderate/severe cases, long term effects are caused by ventilation. That's not what literature & our experience say.

My mother unexpectedly died on this day last year, shortly after her birthday and much too young. I miss her every day. I will be listening to some of her favourite Brahms and Bruckner recordings today (and maybe some Brubeck) thinking of her with much love and gratitude.💕🕯️
