Because in UK health journalism, “getting the facts” often means repeating what a GP mate told you over lunch, rather than reading the research and checking the facts.
These headlines aren’t just lazy. They echo the distortions that stalled ME research in the first place. 2/3

Nearly always, anxiety is at the top of the differential diagnosis.
Every doctor, clinic, specialty that long Covid patients see are fixated on anxiety. Patients say ‘but I’m not anxious’. Usually this would be enough to disregard it.
No, apparently everyone has hidden anxiety.

Given all we know about Covid
That it’s a vascular disease
That it causes blood clots, myocarditis, pericarditis, angina, microvascular angina, pots and more..
We can do better.
We must do better.
We are currently tolerating a huge increase in heart attacks, strokes and blood clots.

Given that we know this from thousands of papers, the least we could do is find the pathology.
Then we could maybe start looking at preventing pathology and research trials.
Currently we do very little for acute Covid in most people. It may be possible to prevent damage…

She is not able to live in a shelter due to care needs, severe allergies and a severe dissociative disorder which makes a change to an unknown location distressing and causes amnesia. What she really needs is care and support at home and more connections locally to find a way out of this situation
