Sickness, Disability, and Death in NHS England Staff The three graphs that *every person* needs to see. The question that every single person needs to ask their government: What are you doing to protect me from Covid infection?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

You couldn't make it up. The New York Times, so active in getting people repeatedly infected, slips out a quiet little article saying that Covid infections can raise the risk of heart problems for years. Can we please stop pretending? archive.md/eNWvM

Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane. 1/
