Do not wait for Boris to announce plan B. Anyone of us, at any time can fall unwell. NHS capacity is at an all-time low. Thousands of NHS staff are dead or injured after contracting Covid. Reduced staffing levels and bed capacity has placed increasing pressure on our colleagues.

Be sensible. Despite the political message, this pandemic is NOT yet over.

Avoid parties and large social gatherings. Keep your circle small. Public-health messaging has been horrendous during this pandemic..

There is an ongoing pathological process occurring in those with LC - evidenced by inc mortality in the first the year post acute infection & prevalence of ongoing end-organ damage - in desperate need of urgent investigation & intervention.

It is not uncommon for pts with Long Covid to develop myopericarditis, encephalitis, dysautomnia, POTs, tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss & visual deterioration, in the mths following an acute infection with SARS CoV-2.

It’s not rehab people with LC need. There is an ongoing pathological process which urgently needs addressing. The huge amount of end organ damage and increased risk of mortality months after an acute covid infection is evidence enough.
