I've heard of 2 people who have gotten #Covid in the last 72 hours. Tested + I've not been in thier company but friends & me family have been. So mind yourself, #WearAMask on public transport, #GetVaccinated #keeptesting Any #Covid infection can push you into #LongCovid #spéirgorm
THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT 
LONG COVID IS TO AVOID COVID 
Wear the best mask you can Wearing a good mask like an N95 or better when in public will give you the best protection 
Stay home and isolate if ill If you feel unwell isolate yourself from others until you are feeling better and testing negative 
Test if you have symptoms Symptoms of Covid? Isolate and test. Repeat test while symptomatic and mask around others 
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 There is no cure for Long Covid so the best way to avoid it is to take steps to avoid catching Covid

Happy Wednesday! Had a consultant question why I was wearing a mask today - just replied with "I'm the only person I know who hasn't had COVID and I'd prefer to keep it that way". Meanwhile another colleague had to be reminded to wear a mask as she's come to work with a sore throat 🙃

When Americans are dying from an ebola epidemic, never forget that Trump and Musk cancelled USAID for health care in the Congo, gutted the CDC epidemiology center, and crippled the NIH infections disease programs. Trump's mishandling of covid will pale in comparison to ebola.

I have been dismayed by Labours support of Reform on ECHR but we have already seen how Labour thinks it’s ok to leave Clinically vulnerable and long covid sufferers without up to date vaccine access and Clean air with Covid. CEV have been left without protection from therapeutic drugs for 6 years.
