Long Covid changed my life beyond recognition. I got ill. I never recovered. Lost my job. Became housebound. I rely on others to do things for me. I lie on my bed most of the day. Watch the Guardian's short film about my life with

This moves me so much. I got my first Covid infection in March 2020 too. I cannot begin to describe how fortunate I feel to be finally recovered - nor how dismayed I am that the illness is still invisible: to friends & family, but also, catastrophically, to medics & policymakers.

The NHS England GP Patient Survey 2025 asked approx. 700,000 people if they have

. Yes: 4.2% I don’t know: 9.5% These figures are staggering evidence of the likely prevalence of symptomatic people & the continuing lack of education on Long Covid.

Long COVID has made me aware that I once took the views from the summits of Schiehallion, Beinn Alligin and Buachaille Etive Mòr for granted. Heck, I took walking up a hill without breathing hard for granted. But I'm glad for Pacerpoles.

One thing I'd forgotten about reading a long-ish book is the simple pleasure of looking forward to hopping into bed and spending an hour or two with it and the prospect of repeating that routine for however many nights to come.

Great & depressing thread. Teenagers/graduates are already getting their entry level job applications sifted by AI it seems. Which means they are wasting time learning how to navigate clunky automated recruitment systems - not improving their skills to actually get/do the job…
