A word of warning. I’ve had Long Covid for 12mths and counting. In this time, I’ve been diagnosed with neurological sleep apnoea, encephalitis, sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus dysautomnia and POTs, and myopericarditis. I was never hospitalised. My case is mild.
So those say Omicron is ‘mild’. Just be mindful. This is what a mild case looks like. #TreatLongCovid
I contracted Covid whilst working as a UK front line doctor. Staff were fed a false narrative that covid was transmitted by droplet transfer. Science shows Covid is unequivocally airborne. My NHS colleagues urgently need to be provided with full airborne PPE, including FFP3 masks
Over one thousand of my NHS colleagues are dead, and many thousands more are injured. We need answers now @BorisJohnson #covidinquirynow bindmans.com/uploads/files/…

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.

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..

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.
Microclots have been demonstrated in the blood of those with Long Covid. cardiab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Professor Resia Pretorius, outlines HOW to test for microclots in this paper: mdpi.com/2077-0383/10/2…
