Meanwhile, more than 500 children a day in England are being referred to NHS mental health services for anxiety, more than DOUBLE the pre-pandemic rate…
…and yet, the impact of repeated COVID infections on children is never even considered as a contributing factor.
🚨40% of the undergrad students reported brain fog due to COVID-19.
🚨37 % of the undergraduates exhibited impaired cognition up to 17 months post-infection.
🚨Brain fog appeared to affect the distinct prefrontal haemodynamic patterns.
This study was conducted by scientists at the University of Otago (NZ) who were looking to investigate the cognitive effects of COVID infection in a population highly representative of young adults: undergraduate university students.
Today, in honour of #LongCovidAwarenessDay, I’m sharing a series of short videos from Dr Rae Duncan (@Sunny_Rae1) about the ongoing impact of Long Covid.
1. WHAT IS LONG COVID?
Long Covid is a multi-systemic inflammatory condition that can affect almost every organ of the body.
Newly-appointed Health Minister @AshleyDalton_MP has just responded to a question from MP @_Chris_Coghlan.
Chris asks when the NHS IPC manual will be updated to reflect the latest science on AIRBORNE transmission.
Let’s take a closer look at Ashley’s reply…
The key bit is highlighted in yellow here:
“Should new evidence emerge that warrants updates, the guidance will be reviewed & revised accordingly by NHS England & UKHSA to ensure the highest standards of infection prevention & control are maintained across healthcare settings.”
Well @AshleyDalton_MP, new evidence HAS emerged.
It’s not even new news as we’ve known about it since 2020!
There’s not a single credible scientist who still denies that Covid is transmitted via the AIRBORNE route.

I wonder why so many people who’ve had Covid might be suffering with ‘anxiety’ 🤔
Hmmmm, let me think…
Could it be because Covid infections cause brain inflammation which triggers a plethora of neurological symptoms, including depression, anxiety & cognitive dysfunction?
The symptom may be ‘anxiety’ but this can often be the first sign of underlying neurological damage caused by COVID infections.
Patients affected may also be struggling with cognitive dysfunction, memory problems, difficulty concentrating etc.
This video helps explain why ⬇️
Here’s a fascinating post from neuroscientist @DaniBeckman which explains a little more about the damage that COVID can cause within the brain, disrupting neuronal circuits and contributing to neuronal loss.
