Need to convince someone who’s vaccine hesitant? I have a story for you. Yesterday I was introduced to someone whose whole family has been infected & impacted in this outbreak. Most in her family have “recovered”, but some still in terrible places. Known names of our pandemic /1
response emailed me to introduce her to our group. This is also indicative that they don’t know how else to help those who don’t get better right way. To be clear, that’s around 37% of cases at moment who don’t “recover”. She was desperate & a mother in crisis. My heart broke /2
Her adult son, previously healthy, is having regular seizures. A new delta #longcovid extra. No one knows how to help. But worse there are no “post MIQ pathways”. Imagine that? You’ve been ushered away, but now no help when you need it most. Because you’re no longer infectious/3
GP’s have no protocols. Specialists no space & no intel. There’s no help coming. How would you feel about that? Threatened. Worried. Scared. I do what I can. That’s all I can do. Please think of Long Covid in your decisions. I am here to help, but what can I really do? /4
The answer is not enough. We need so much more. This is a multi factory virus, & needs all of us - not just govt - to do their bit. Let’s start with reducing risk. Vaccinate if you can. This, this breaks me today. This poor mum and son. 🥲 /5
