It's time for Andy Burnham's government to take #LongCovid seriously. A plan. Proper investment in research. Find treatments. Get us well again. It's not too much to ask.

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

Recent photo at the NHS. Over 6 years into #COVID, and we still have “wash your hands” under “AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS.” We are failing hard to communicate one of the most basic lessons of this pandemic: Airborne means spread through the AIR. Clean air is infection control. #Airborne #PublicHealth #NHS

This is the article to share with all your healthy friends and family to help them understand what’s going on. #LongCovid #ME
To be clear: not every disability or chronic illness is caused by COVID-19. However, the runaway acceleration in the diagnoses of common post-COVID conditions like ME, POTS, and autoimmune diseases is absolutely caused by the ongoing failure to control unmitigated COVID-19. And it's why there's an apparent "trend" in these diagnoses.

Screenshot of a Japanese news article reporting that two junior high schools in Okayama Prefecture will temporarily close due to COVID-19. The article says COVID cases have been increasing nationwide since around summer. Rising illness-related absences led Bizen Municipal Hinase Junior High School and Mimasaka Municipal Mimasaka Junior High School to close for 2–3 days from September 9, 2026. Twelve students at one school and nine at the other reported symptoms. Okayama Prefecture also recorded increasing COVID-19 cases from July to August.

Long Covid SOS @longcovidsos.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yet another wave of COVID and prevention still isn’t being taken seriously. Until prevention is properly prioritised, we have to take responsibility for our own risk reduction. That means continuing with the practical precautions we know work, even if those around us have stopped taking them.
Infographic from Long Covid SOS titled “THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT LONG COVID IS TO AVOID COVID”. It lists five ways to reduce the risk of catching and spreading Covid: 
Mask icon and text “Wear the best mask you can. Wearing a good mask like an N95 or better when in public will give you the best protection”
Home icon and text “Stay home and isolate if ill. If you feel unwell isolate yourself from others until you are feeling better and testing negative”
Unwell icon and text “Test if you have symptoms Symptoms of Covid? Isolate and test. Repeat test while symptomatic and mask around others”
Ventilation icon and text “Ventilate or meet outside. Clean air is the best way to prevent spreading and catching Covid so make sure fresh air is circulating”
Long Covid still has no cure
Medical icon and text “There is no cure for Long Covid so the best way to avoid it is to take steps to avoid catching Covid”
The graphic uses teal panels with white text and orange-and-white circular icons. Long Covid SOS branding appears at the bottom right and contact information FOR MORE INFORMATION OR HELP WITH LONG COVID PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE WWW.LONGCOVIDSOS.ORG on left.
