“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

“Immunity debt doesn’t exist, but immune damage does.”

Brilliant piece in @independent.ie today, especially following Violet Affleck’s address to the UN yesterday.

1. Win this painting by donating to one of the three Gaza fundraising campaigns listed in this thread, as fundraisers are their ONLY form of income now and the ONLY way they can get food and water.

The findings of our second Locked Out of the Market report must act as a wake-up call for policymakers 📄

Only 32 properties were available to rent within HAP limits. This is a 22% reduction since March 2025 📉

Great to have this coverage today and hearing the voices of those impacted. The current system is failing thousands of people and families reliant on HAP, essentially locking them out of the market and forcing them to enter homelessness.
Niall Garvey, CEO of Mid West Simon, and a woman accessing services in Galway were interviewed today on Morning Ireland to discuss our latest Locked Out report and the limitations of HAP outside of Dublin.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Flag protocol requires all flags to be flown at half-mast for 30 days after the passing of a president. This means flags will be at half-mast for Trump's inauguration.
Thank you for your final act of service, President Carter.

Home for the holidays = time to replace the filters on my parents’ Corsi Rosenthal Box! Added a 5th filter on the bottom this time (instead of cardboard) for an even higher clean air delivery rate.

So glad all of this dust and dirt is in the filters and not in their lungs.

A huge amount of work went into this from Long COVID Advocacy Ireland

With 16% of the population affected, Government must respond urgently to review the 2021 Model of Care and reduce reinfections through clean air & other NPIs - both very welcome recommendations

I know this is a bit of a long shot but are there any GOOD models of care for Long Covid out there? Anywhere that can be used as an example of best practice?
