Is it just me or do other Long Covid suffers read headlines like this one and think:
“No shit Sherlock! Welcome to the party. We’ve been telling you this for yearsssss.”
Followed immediately by gratitude for scientists investigating Long Covid to someday lead to treatments.

Back to being overweight according to my BMI ;)
Probably around a week or two to go before I am in the “healthy” section and not have a BMI over 25 consistently.
My target weight is 64-65Kg by the end of the year and maintain it at that level for the whole of January. Today’s weight was 66.1Kg.

The extraordinary thing about all of this is that the libertarians & conspiracists are openly saying Johnson killing 23,000 innocent people was 'worth it', because lockdown is worse.
How many more people do these people wish had been killed so they could go to the pub?
Give us number.

I see all the usual far right conspiracy nuts are out in force to claim that the multi year inquiry, that took evidence from the most reliable expert scientists, relying on the world's extensive medical evidence, and all of the relevant govt ministers, so s completely wrong about lockdown.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

The news that a national lockdown could have been avoided is shattering. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who lost loved ones during the pandemic.
Kemi Badenoch should apologise on behalf of the Conservative Party. This tragedy must never be repeated.

Like I said in my previous post, Johnson is an evil man.
BREAKING: UK’s response to Covid was “too little too late”. Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry.
Boris Johnson presided over a “toxic, sexist, chaotic culture” in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

![However, the brothers' Google search history in the weeks after the theft for phrases including "how to wash crypto”, “top crypto lawyers”, “wire fraud statute / wire fraud statue [sic] of limitations”, and “prison or jail worse” suggest that perhaps the brothers had some clue that their actions could be interpreted criminally, as do the brothers' own descriptions of their plan as “sus”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreicpwu5pjoddgp2ovmaka2kfu6d6uc7uijrld5a4hovz5qpaqlkk5u@jpeg)

They’re not “donations.”
They’re bribes.
Donald Trump took $116 million in bribes from at least 30 individuals or companies who then directly benefited from his actions.
Everyone understands it, and yet he’s still allowed to sell off his policies to the highest bidder.
