5 years this weekend since lockdown. My son is amongst the 100,000 kids that is still locked down by Long Covid. Bedbound in a darkened room by M.E. Millions of all ages affected. The new government must not brush them under the carpet like the previous one did. Invest in medical treatments & care

The BBC covered this as LOCAL news again 🙄 When will the press & government join the dots and acknowledge the cause of the rise in physical disability? Thousands now signing the petition calling for funding for biomedical treatment research and care for Long Covid & M.E. you.38degrees.org.uk/p/LCME

You won't get us working if you don't get us well (we desperately want both). The government needs to fund treatment research and stop closing clinics. Sign and share the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/in...

“In 2025, long Covid is the public health crisis no one wants to talk about, taking a wrecking ball to people’s lives, the economy and NHS while those with power pretend there’s nothing to see.” 5 years on, I wrote about long Covid and national denial. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social Please help further amplify our call for M.E. and Long Covid treatment research and care. The legacy of post-pandemic PHYSICAL disability is missing from the conversation on welfare cuts and disability support. Millions being brushed under carpet bsky.app/profile/long...

5 years of Covid has left millions chronically PHYSICALLY ill, disabled and in perpetual "lockdown". The government needs to acknowledge and address this crisis with research into treatment and improved care. Closing clinics and cutting benefits is shortsighted and cruel you.38degrees.org.uk/p/LCME
