🧵OK, folks, while we wait for #LongCovid clinical experts to challenge Friday's cunning stunt in the press, here's what you can do (pls read thread):
Complain to the Guardian or their regulator Impress
That paper should know bettershorturl.at/yLRTWor
impressorg.com/standards/comp… For Daily Mail: corrections@dailymail.co.uk.
For Telegraph:
Or don’t waste time and go straight to their regulator IPSO under the clause 1 Accuracy (Discrimination clause is *deliberately designed to fail* - don't bother)...shorturl.at/vHUV4

No economic sense in ending #SelfIsolation. 1 in 4 bosses say #LongCovid the main cause of sickness absence. Of UK population almost 2% are #pwLC (40% for 1-2 years). You can't fill 500,000 posts when tens of thousands a month are losing jobs to illness @longcovidwork @long_covid At least two in three #pwLC are frontline workers (ONS, TUC, @long_covid data). @longcovidwork we hear of more and more losing jobs. There are 100,000+ vacancies in the NHS alone, doctors and nurses. Can the #NHS afford to lose more to infection and disability? @sajidjavid
