Very moving video from Long Covid Physio ❤️👇

Before infection, our members chose how to use each heartbeat.

Now #LongCovid limits what each beat can be used for.

CATA has found via FoI requests that government bodies did not fully disclose vital evidence to COVID Inquiry. They ignored views of PHE that airborne precautions should have been available to all HCWs. WHY?

Very important. 👇

We are insane.

Our species is insane.

That's 'healthy life' expectancy.

How long you can expect to be healthy for.

This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state we’re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

I don't want to share a link to the story, because it's just so painfully uninformed, but here it is.

Better they're talking about the effects of covid infections and not mentioning covid infections than not talking about the effects of covid infections.

The state of denial is acute.

It's going to fall further too, just as the actual age at which people dies has also fallen and is continuing to fall.

So you die younger, and you become unhealthy younger.

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.

“People used to be getting healthier year on year.

Now we're getting sicker year on year.

The difference is Covid.”

Oh this is absolutely key to understanding what's going on.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Civil Service sickness absence, 2025: report

The data's all here, go knock yourself out.
www.gov.uk/government/p...

People used to be getting healthier year on year.

Now we're getting sicker year on year.

The difference is Covid.

And I synchronised the graphs at 2019 because that's the last covid free year, and it ties the chart together neatly.

I faded out the year 2021 because that year includes all of the 'lockdowns' and during that year people were taking precautions to avoid illness.

🚨
Are people sicker now than in 2019?

Civil servants in England are.
Sickness absence rates have *risen by between 12% to 23% across the age groups*.

Are things getting worse?
It certainly looks like it.

This is exactly what we predicted repeat covid infection would do.

*Reminds me I still think with some work this could possibly serve as a good TV show or mini-series premise. Pastor by day, virus/disease hunter at night, with a family. Or perhaps an animated version with an actual seabird. All proceeds would go towards COVID & Long COVID awareness, etc.

I find it really really hard to keep up with more than one social media site... I have a full time job, a family, and, you know, a life, so I don't post here much... but I'm going to try to share a bit more.

The question that every single person needs to ask their government:
What are you doing to protect me from Covid infection?

@1goodtern.bsky.social:
"It's time to talk about the vax and relax crowd again.

They got their shots, so the virus is now someone else's problem.
But vaccines *reduce* the risks of Covid's long-term harms *without* eliminating them.
The science never said that.
It is just what people chose to hear.

Thank you for sharing this stuff here.

I only have capacity for one site.

There's a tern and three ternlings eagerly (but patiently and considerately) awaiting the next page...

I've just loved the last couple of chapters.
🥰

Whooooooop

Yes, I think so.
The story is already online at the links that account publishes each week.
It's just now being released in book form.

One more sleep until it's out here! ❤️❤️
