Merry Christmas and happy festive season to the LC and chronic disease community, and to all my online friends who celebrate. Wishing you the warmest day. 💙

NVC test shows significant microvascular damage in #LongCovid patients vs matched healthy controls. Dilated capillaries, microhaemorrhages, abnormal shapes and reduced capillary density are still detectable in LC 12 months after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection rmdopen.bmj.com/content/11/2...

Happy to support this call for cleaner and safer indoor air in schools @safeairschoolsuk.bsky.social Children's wellbeing deserves the utmost attention from policymakers. Cleaner air, including from viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, can contribute significantly to better health

"The current health and economic burden of long COVID may already exceed that of a number of other chronic diseases ... This could be a significant drain on businesses, third-party payers, the healthcare system, and society." #LongCovid pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39842946/

SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to long-lasting immune compromise. "The sustained subnormal lymphocytes—particularly in cardiovascular disease cohorts—[in study] highlight a key immunologic feature of LongCOVID and underscore the need for personalized care" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Here is Dr Barry Jones explaining that they knew from ‘day 1’ it was airborne and a virus of some consequence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cpR...

That gives all of us an idea of the range of 5-year outcomes after severe COVID:

Brazilian singer Eva Rodrigues Praia Walkey has passed away in her 40s after fighting #LongCovid for five years. She endured lengthy hospital stays, 400 days in a coma, a cesarean section the day she was first hospitalized with hypoxia, 2 cardiac arrests, and lost 20% of her lungs

Costs of #LongCovid "are estimated at an average annual burden of $1 trillion globally" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"I am ill but I will give everything" Tennis star Alexander Zverev shared to be unwell and not fully fit after tighly beating Jaume Munar at the Davis Cup today. He's reported to have "a flu" and be "coughing" in the press.

Please remember that the UK had seen what happened in Wuhan (China) and Lombardy (Italy) when they had to decide in the end how to mitigate for Covid in 2020. And the evidence was that unmitigated SARS-CoV-2 spread was recipe for disaster

Autopsies of 18 foetuses showed that "SARS-CoV-2 can be widely distributed in fetal organs through vertical transmission". In addition immune and DNA damage were found in the infected organs www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Friend this morning ‘you want to go to the pub’. I don’t know what to say anymore, those around me ignore my situation entirely. Five years campaigning and still don’t have good vaccine access or any awareness of airborne risk, post infection risk. There is a failure to inform on risk.

We were only given a black and white narrative on COVID. This wasn’t a real choice. It was never about lockdown or open up. It was always about not mitigating for airborne transmission bsky.app/profile/elho...
