A third of healthcare workers have symptoms consistent with long COVID. Important discussion here that COVID is often discussed as historical but is still causing huge health issues for many people - as well as going undiagnosed within the NHS. nursingtimes.net/respiratory/lo…

So, I called 'Dame Rachel' on LBC, and I am not going to lie, I didn't like her answer. She insists that she 'listens'. But here she seems to be oblivious to the escalating public health crisis our children are facing? Long Covid Kids / [email protected] WHO IS SHE LISTENING TO? Dame Rachel de Souza

Long Covid Kids / [email protected] Anne Marie πŸ’œ Dame Rachel de Souza Clean air is better for all children. Reducing risk is better for all children. Children and young people with Long Covid want to be in school when symptoms & energy allows - no child should have have to worry about how their classroom might impact their health. #CleanAir

As Zack Polanski says here β€œCOVID is often discussed as historical but is still causing huge health issues for many people”. Millions in this country have long Covid. We need airborne infection controls in schools and hospitals.

I hope Dame Rachel de Souza can find time to β€˜check the numbers’ from Office for National Statistics (ONS) (which she already knows about) & think for 1 minute how traumatising it is for a child to be forced to sit next to someone in a classroom who HAS Covid when Covid already destroyed your health. #NotListening

Anne Marie πŸ’œ LBC Long Covid Kids / [email protected] Dame Rachel de Souza Dame Rachel (Children's Commissioner for England) most definitely does need to look again at the number of children with Long Covid. She should take a VERY long, hard look at it ⬇️ As of March 2024, ONS reported that over 111 THOUSAND kids had Long Covid. And that’s just in England & Scotland…

We need GOV.UK to reinstate Covid wastewater surveillance for England and Wales. How can we address a public health crisis without knowing the facts?

I’m wondering whether there has been any progress at all on improving ventilation / rolling out air filtration units systemically in the UK. The above clips were from almost a year ago and we are heading into yet another Autumn / Winter. What more will it take for change.

I don't need 'skills and support' to get me back to work. I'm ill. I need treatments. So how about properly investing in research to treat #LongCovid? When I'm well again we can talk about my return to the workforce.

I'm quite unbelievably, in New York. At the coach station yesterday, as I left, I told 7yr old where I was going. All casually he says: "Oh. Say hello to Spiderman. He lives in Queens". Definitely. Bye then!

"New COVID variant alert... Parents, here’s what you need to know..." Thanks to Netmums for raising the question - 🏑 Should you keep your child off school? NHS advice says only if they have a high temperature or feel too poorly to join instagram.com/reel/DO51EJWje…

WHERE DID PUBLIC HEALTH GO???😑😑😑 UK Health Security Agency Department for Education We have reached the point in this pandemic where parents have to turn to Netmums for guidance 🀯🀯 Madness. The answer is NO. Do not infect others with Covid. It can lead to #LongCovidKids which ruins childhoods.
