We are excited with today's announcement from Jean-Yves Duclos to fund Long COVID Web. This $20 million investment will help establish a national network to study #LongCovid, unlocking new treatments and improving care for Canadians.

"Progress has been excruciatingly slow due to lack of attention and resources." Eric Topol The Lancet Comparative funding data from UK Research and Innovation National Institute for Health and Care Research shows long-term under-funding of other post-infectious diseases. We need serious plans.

The betrayal is nationwide. We hear about new infections every day, but from acquaintances through word of mouth because to test, trace & report would be to reveal the lie. The pandemic isn't over. Even when people don't develop #LongCovid they take immune system damage. #maskup

Please watch. Then, restock on masks and resume making choices about your exposure risk in public like your health depends on it. It does. #Covid Infection=Damaged Immune System. Money can't buy back health or quality of life. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

Don't allow your body to be grist for the economic mill. #CovidIsNotOver . Make personal choices that protect you and your family. Wear masks, avoid indoor gatherings, ventilate the spaces you spend the most time in. Stock up on free rapid tests while they are still available.

Well, the ITV News reports on Long Covid this week have been both heartbreaking and brilliant. 💔💎 Here's the final piece. Very well done - absolutely worth five minutes of your time and the sort of thing you can share with family and friends. Thank you so much to all involved

Every #longhauler, especially those coping with #PEM in the first 6 mo- 1 year of illness, needs to hear this. It is so hard to be encouraged to just "push through" even when it makes you sick. Learn to do what you can and stop. A new definition of "health", but equally valid.

It's official! Bill C-22 – The Canada Disability Benefit Act will return to the House today. We need to get this past the finish line. Together, I know we can.

Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ Celebrating the step-hard work ahead on regulations requiring trust, collaboration. Many thanks to Senate of Canada In the Chamber and thousands of Canadians pushing for historic Bill C-22 Louise Chabot @#billc22 #CanadaDisabilityBenefit

Today, all parties came together to support Bill C-22 - the Canada Disability Benefit Act through a unanimous consent motion. We're on the cusp of doing what every single one of us came to Ottawa to do. To help people. To make their lives better.

It is strongly expected multiple underlying mechanisms lead to long COVID (re:subtypes). Vagus nerve damage would go a long way towards explaining why so many different organ systems are impacted and why stress and minor illness cause flares. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

Tara Moriarty The damage done by Covid-19 to the healthcare workforce should be a major focus of the professional associations/unions involved. Good data illuminates the price in personal health being paid by these people. Thanks for the focus
