“We’ve had wasted decades in which huge numbers of patients have been abused, mistreated and their very horrible condition made even worse by medicine.” George Monbiot talking about the PACE trial, graded exercise therapy (GET) and CBT as treatments for #MECFS.

Listening to another woman bemoan a senior man choosing to talk across her to her junior (male) colleague just reinforces how prevalent such behaviour is. My weekend post addresses this: Condescension occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald...

PMC COVlD Update, Sep 21, 2026 (US) 🔥13th COVlD wave 🔥40 states/territories with outbreaks (see Alt text) 🔥3.8 million estimated weekly infections 🔥Outbreaks in NYC 🔥Extremely high levels on the Big Island of HI Mask up and get boosted. 🧵THREAD (1/4)

The US has at least 34 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawai'i, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Levels on the Big Island of Hawai’i are particularly high. Note also, the NYC area is seeing outbreaks.

There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 40 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, and Tennessee likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor.

Belgium: COVID-19 circulation has risen 10x since June, driven by the XFG sub-variant. GP visits are surging: suspected COVID cases reached 16.7 per 100,000 in September, while confirmed infections hit 4.8 per 100,000. Source: www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/2333... Archive: archive.li/DfeRo

An image of a news article layout from The Brussels Times, dated Saturday, 26 September 2026.
The prominent bold headline reads: "Covid-19 'Frankenstein' variant leads to tenfold increase in infections." Below the headline, the article byline attributes the piece to "The Brussels Times Newsroom."
The lower half of the image features a photograph of a person wearing a white lab coat and protective gloves, holding a large bundle of blue disposable face masks over a production line or sterile surface. A small caption at the bottom left reads, "Illustrative images of face masks. Credit: Belga."

We've seen a distinct drop in interest in these conditions as people have memory-holed COVID; they'd like to forget infection-associated chronic conditions, but they're impacting everyone, including kids. I'm the Scientific Director at #MEAction, and I advocate for #MECFS, #LongCOVID, & other IACCs.

‚It's as if nothing has been learned.‘ #LongCovid #ME 3/3

It's as if nothing has been learned. Perhaps that's not surprising. A freedom of information request to NHS England found that, of the tens of thousands of practitioners who would benefit from it, after a year, only 74 had completed the new learning module on ME/CFS guidance. Meanwhile, as recently as last summer, the Department for Work and Pensions was still teaching its trainees elements of the old, discredited view of the condition. And, as the Liberal Democrat MP Tessa Munt, a hero of this story, tells me:
"The piecemeal offerings in the government's final delivery plan are not going to touch the system-wide failings."
It's not only the UK. I've been contacted by patients from around the world. In Sweden and Australia, official guidance still recommends GET and CBT. In Switzerland, I'm told, treatment is spiralling backwards, with a new wave of psychologisation.
Norway, Finland and the Netherlands, despite their progressive medical reputations, sound like a waking nightmare for ME/CFS patients.
