Lotte has lived with #LongCOVID for 6 years. At her worst she spent 22 hrs a day in bed and was unable to hold a conversation. She worries about her future as the Dutch government doesn’t treat it as a priority and not enough is being done to help her take part in society again.

BBC Wales Today. Carer and campaigner Rob Messenger, who has two children with #MECFS in their 30s, says there are no specialists to turn to and describes care for Severe and Very Severe ME in Wales as a ‘desert’.
Edited clip from German TV: 14-year-old Philipp developed ME/CFS following a Covid infection. He hasn’t been to school in a year and barely sees his friends. His mother says we have never felt so helpless in our entire lives. #MECFS #LongCovid
George Monbiot describes the treatment of #MECFS as “The Greatest Medical Scandal of the 21st century”. Repost of the introduction to my 27-minute explainer video for #MEAwarenessMonth — now optimised for phones.
6 years since the first UK lockdown. #LongCovid hasn’t gone away. ONS estimates from 2024 suggest ~2 million people in England & Scotland. Every infection carries a ~1 in 50 chance of developing long Covid that could last anything from four weeks to being effectively permanent.
Clip from the Death Clock Podcast - Dr Leonard Jason explains why healthcare professionals often interpret post-acute infection syndromes as “psychological” — and how patients are traumatised not only by the illness itself, but by people’s reactions to it as well.
Tomos is bedbound with Severe #MECFS. His mother says at his worst he looked as if he was “paralysed”, “a dead weight”, unable to open his eyes, talk or move. Clip from BBC Wales Today.
BBC Morning Live addresses complaints after Dr Oscar Duke said that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was “probably the best way to describe” the illness. Feedback from viewers outlines how it trivialises the illness, is just one symptom, and it does not reflect the reality of #MECFS.
Clip from a WDR German TV report: Pascal Hilgruber developed ME/CFS following a Covid infection or vaccination. He now spends 80–90% of his day in bed and says being able to go to the toilet on his own feels like an achievement.
Clip from Radio New Zealand: A former city councillor describes the impact of #LongCOVID. Going from a busy, active life to, at her worst, living on her couch unable to walk, using a commode beside her.
The CDC made a public awareness ad about #MECFS in 2007. I’m not aware of a similar public health campaign since, despite increasing numbers linked to long Covid and the lack of awareness that exercise can make people worse.
Dominic LeBlanc on US trade talks: "The Mexicans are beginning a formal technical conversation. We'll get to that point as well, but ... we're not prepared to concede a whole bunch of things to find that there's another list of things that we're supposed to give the United States."

$1.5 trillion for the military? 🤯 That budget is massive, but imagine if we pivoted that towards universal healthcare. We could fully fund primary care, eliminate medical debt, and lower prescription costs for every single person. 🏥💊 Is it time to prioritize our health over hardware? #health

An interesting woke take on the misogynist conservative men who dress as women. Also possible TERF projection since this mirrors what they say about trans women being a parody of women 2
"Plug-in solar can be a cheap, quick, effective way of reducing your electricity bills," businessman and clean energy expert Chris Goodall told Times Radio. The government will relax rules on the self-installed panels, which can save up to £110 off consumer bills according to officials.
