People with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome were nearly 3x more likely to develop Long COVID, based on analysis of nearly 20 million Americans EMR data. The data also revealed that hEDS occurs in 1 in 800 people, making it significantly more common than older estimates.

Lorraine, "Is covid still around?"
- Why yes it is. We're currently in the 18th wave of covid. Currently 2 million in the UK with long covid -
Dr Amir Khan explains that it's still around, "a multi system complex virus.. Some get it mild.. Others get full body aches and pains.. Real danger is long covid."
"Its difficult to treat, lots of people watching this will be struggling with long covid"
"Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate.. A well fitted FFP2 mask can help"
"If you are unwell stay at home.. But not everyone can afford to stay at home.. Zero hour contract.. Shift work.. Self employed"
"Staying of work means losing money for rent and food"
"If you've got good sick pay stay at home, but it's not fair for everyone else - we need better support and sick pay"
My view:
Covid didn’t disappear because we stopped talking about it. And for people living with long Covid, the consequences never went away. In March 2024, the ONS estimated that two million people in England and Scotland were experiencing self-reported long Covid. That is a dated estimate, but it shows the scale of the suffering so easily overlooked.
Dr Amir Khan’s point about sick pay gets to the heart of the problem. Telling someone to stay home when they’re ill is straightforward. Making that possible when missing a shift means missing rent or struggling to buy food requires political choices.
You cannot build an effective public health response around advice people cannot afford to follow.
Nobody should have to choose between protecting other people’s health and putting food on their own table. After everything we’ve been through, why are we still accepting that choice?

I’ve reported rape twice to the Met Police, both times NFA’d (No Further Action), both times appealed, gave my phone in for evidence both times, they both refused to give their phones, gave DNA evidence in one, it wasn’t even touched, one Detective Inspector told me:

🔴There Is No Such Thing as “Chinese Imperialism” in Sudan. It Is Washington and London Playing Arsonist and Firefighter, Burning the Sudanese State Through Managed Chaos.
🇸🇩Fascinating investigation from @nadaabouelamaim on the use of Starlink by RSF in Sudan, which proved essential to fly their drones. Transiting through Chad, the terminals also allow them to rent internet services to civilians in zones under RSF control.

I knew this was going to be framed this way to drive clicks🙄—The report also said Maduro was studying the Quran, has lost significant weight, and receiving inadequate nutrition, while his wife Cilia suffered a heart attack, sleep deprivation & tooth decay. But instead of scrutinizing torturous conditions in MDC, the focus is on sensationalizing “interest in Judaism”😑

Funny cause the AES has no problem dropping the nuts and telling Chinese companies to tighten up if they get to slipping. And guess what? Chinese firms comply because they have to operate within the parameters set by the nation they are operating within

Workers in Bangladesh are shutting down factories and striking for better wages.
These workers make clothes for companies like Walmart and H&M on starvation wages.
All power to the people! ✊

Why must we, especially as Muslims, praise a man who ordered 563 drone strikes and killed 3,797 people— the overwhelming majority of who were Muslim? If he were to apologise for every victim of his every drone strike every day, it would take him three years to do so.

So glad you asked! Covid is a vascular disease – it fucks up your blood vessels. Which means it can fuck up pretty much every organ in the human body, with effects ranging from annoying to debilitating to fatal. Here's an incomplete list of problems Covid increases your risk for

I've been corrected on this. Apologies for passing on incorrect information.
There are not 1 million new Covid cases in the US every week at the moment.
There are 1 million new Covid cases EVERY DAY.

There’s an update on Savannah.
She's still in the hospital where they don't take her #severeME seriously and don't follow NICE guidelines. Full update in fundraiser.
Please share or donate if you're able.

“… hospital continues to refuse the syringe driver granted to palliative care patients. Savannah is labelled as difficult because she daren’t waste energy speaking to psychologists (who at QE Hospital suggested her physical challenges are due to e.g. “being the middle child”).”
Update on Savannah. I have no words, except to echo the last line, "Do we all have to be Olympian to be believed?"
