Fantastic. Long overdue & I hope it will be far reaching. The government are ignoring the experience of
@LongCovidKids
as they want to minimise its consequences, especially in light of school attendance pressure. Thank you for shining a light on this.

Please please please keep at this, highlight that numbers are increasing as the number of infections increase. Please tell people this can happen to anyone. These aren’t a *rare unlucky few*….there’s many more and many with other forms of covid damage…

We are in the Thames Valley and our daughter has been affected by Covid.
After every Covid infection (she's on number 3) she has Covid Toes and persistent headaches.
The toes are so painful they lesion and at night she can't sleep disrupting her education. No treatment

Thank you for raising awareness of
#LongCovidKids
. Children deserve clean air in schools to reduce the risk of catching
#COVID19
repeatedly. It’s terrible how the nation was repeatedly told that children aren’t affected by covid, despite all the evidence to the contrary

Thank you for raising awareness of
#LongCovid
I caught covid March 22 (unvaxed) at work NHS. I’m now disabled. Unable to eat/drink due to daily allergic reactions. Can’t tolerate medications due to reactions too. I’m suffering greatly. The government need to do something NOW!

I’m wondering how many children who have had the mRNA Covid-19 injections suffer
#longcovid
as opposed to those that didn’t receive the procedure? Will you be investigating this Stacey?

Please acknowledge if/when cases present like me/Cfs &that ME/CFS=found responsible for 51% of long-term absence from school, as far back as 1997. Obv covid context is=important, for both prevention &research &LC presents in many ways but PVS=not brand new
Omicron isn’t mild in children. The evidence is in the thread.
One in five pupils in England were persistently absent in the past school year. Covid and other illnesses are the main reasons for the attendance drop.
If you tolerate this your children will be….disabled.
