@thenewsquiz if Simon Evans would like to meet with us who got sick and never recovered working on the NHS front lines during the pandemic, more than happy to help him understand the type of person we are.
Highly motivated, hard working and dedicated, now disabled & devastated!
“Let’s be honest, it’s never very hard to guess who’s going to get [Long Covid] is it? Know what I mean?” Comedian Simon Evans on BBC @TheNewsQuiz
2nd week in a row that The News Quiz has mocked people with #LongCovid.
News Quiz should be mocking bigotry, not inciting it.

When people ask what a collapse of the NHS would look like, it's this, it's already here.
It's not going to be bricked up hospitals and no one answering 999, it's going to be lowering standards and rationing care. Acknowledging we can no longer help everyone who calls.

Clarifying
boom&bust cycle=bad
Pacing=vital & hard
Recovery=not linear
1 crash a week=too many
6 weeks is not enough to show sustainable=I crashed after 6 month improvemnt
There is hope
Key=individual pacing, which is flexible
No wasn't involved with study

The “kids rarely get sick from COVID” crowd need to sit down and stop endangering kids. It’s not just deaths (they happen!) or hospitalization (very tragic)— it’s also #LongCovid in kids. And it’s about to get worse—since the #DeltaVariant wave still not caught up in 🇬🇧. #COVID19
🚨 The number of children experiencing #LongCovidKids has increased by 16,000 (+30%) in a month!
And 10,000 children still suffering after 12+ months.
Note, the 12+ month long haulers don't yet include children infected during the second wave.

#longcovid I have good and bad days, there are days I want to curl up in a ball and hide because even the duvet is too heavy to lift!
Even on those days there is a smile to be found, in the smallest of things. Hugs under duvets from my snuggly little girl who reminds me its ok.
“I hope my story helps others living with Long Covid feel less alone...”
