This is such a brilliant article: we know what causes long COVID and we know how to treat it - but where is the urgency to invest in the clinical trials needed?
LA Times: “Opinion: Long COVID is solvable, but we need more clinical trials”

Opinion: Long COVID is solvable, but we need more clinical trials
Some people may remain ill after COVID infection because the virus still lurks in their bodies. The looming question now is: Who will pay for drug development and trials?

Providing funding to a repressive regime to construct the world's highest dam is clearly a recipe for disaster.
Yet, today the #WorldBank will vote on the #Rogun dam in #Tajikistan, despite it risks displacing +60,000 ppl.

This is such a brilliant thread about our government in denial about COVID and Long COVID
Actually, all you need from that paragraph is this:
"employment rate fall over the last five years, which has been largely driven by a significant rise in the number of people out of work due to long-term ill health"

Not a single mention of Long Covid in the Get Britain Working White Paper.
Govt still ignoring NHS staff & frontline workers, who put their lives on the line during the pandemic, now suffering with the condition.
We urgently need to recognise Long Covid as an occupational disease.
