If you do talk about Long Covid Kids today, can you highlight the fact that the ONS is no longer collecting any data about how many chn have Long Covid in the UK? Despite the fact the number of children suffering DOUBLED from March 23- March 24.
How can this be right?

Let's just take a moment to enjoy the fact that @dailymail.co.uk's poll backfired on them yesterday.
They wrote a misleading article about Violet Affleck's speech at the UN (she didn't call for a mask mandate), and expected their readers to say 'no' to masks in healthcare.
75% said YES.
Love it👏

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Any chance of you covering this? It would make us all a lot less sick, and the number of people who die from being infected with Covid WHILE IN HOSPITAL would go down. Currently, 1 in 10 of those infected with covid in hospital die. Which seems important.

Huge increase in UK sickness absence.
The Health & Wellbeing Report 2025 found we now have record levels of sickness. Now 9.4 days per employee.

A 35 page long report: guess what it doesn't mention as an ongoing cause of employee sickness?

I called @lbc.co.uk to ask Children's Commissioner Rachel De Souza if she has listened to @longcovidkids.bsky.social
Does she have have any idea how traumatising it is for a child to be forced into classrooms with ppl who HAVE Covid, when Covid already ruined their childhood?
She is NOT listening.
