1/ Many of us who have spent the past 5+ years raising awareness about #COVID & advocating for the #LongCOVID community, are very tired. And need to spend more time standing & staring, at birds. Cartoon courtesy of Nadine Redlich -

‚…another emerging campaign within the Trump administration: one that seeks to valorize “natural” pregnancy and motherhood – that is, pregnancy and motherhood without proven medical interventions – to the point where it can corrode women’s health and safety.‘ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🌬️ Clean air isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity. At SHH UK, we’re calling for urgent action for #SafeAir4All. Everyone deserves to breathe safely. It’s time to act. 🌍💙 #LongCovidAwareness #PublicHealth #SafeAir4All

„Das hat schon Ähnlichkeit zur Arbeit in einem Krisengebiet. Man muss kreativ sein, flexibel und belastbar,“ findet Stein.

Speaking of which: COVID safe community, does anyone know how the hub of 467,000+ scientific studies on it can be archived and preserved? I’m honestly surprised it’s still up. We can rarely get anyone we’re trying to convince COVID’s dangerous to actually look at it, but we need it all the same.

Any more GPs who had to reduce their hours or stop working due to Long Covid who want to tell the Guardian about it?? #LongCovid #GeneralPractice www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I am one of those GPs currently ‚lost‘ to the NHS, due to #LongCovid. How many of us are there? Nobody knows, because nobody is asking the question and gathering the data (I have approached the RCGP trying to find out - they couldn’t tell me). www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

‚What I’m noticing, I suppose, is that presence itself is becoming more visible, more valuable. Not just as a soft skill, but as a foundation—something the machines can’t yet replicate in full. Something we already do, and can choose to do with even more intention.‘ bjgplife.com/still-in-the...

‚It is an appalling failure of research, fact checking and editorial supervision that an otherwise informative and necessary piece about the experiences people with chronic health conditions has misled readers in such crucial ways and perpetuated these damaging myths.‘ #ME
