Sydney, New South Wales
Joined February 2011
I have Long Covid (Mar2022 cohort). This chapter was challenging to write but it was an opportunity to describe the experience of living on the edge of what is known at a time when most are oblivious or unwilling to acknowledge the ongoing effects of Covid19 on all of us (1/7)

I don’t think it’s well understood that the number of people suffering from #LongCovid is not just very large, but it’s expanding. It doesn’t have to continue.

“Cambridge doctors gobsmacked by air filter's effect on Covid” ..we have all the tools to stop airborne infection spread in hospitals, care homes, schools & workplaces. They’re cheap, low-tech & very effective It’s a political choice not to use them yet

GUESS WHAT?! A new study has shown SARS-CoV-2 infection is DISTINCT from common respiratory viruses! Unequivocally, COVID is NOT "just a cold." These findings are HUGELY significant, for multiple reasons! Here's a breakdown of the study (written for a general audience)... 1/16
