Them: if all this research about Long Covid was true, then we'd see the signs right across society.

Also them: why is everyone sick so often? why is disability on the rise? why is there so much heart disease? why are there so many health problems right across society?

@1goodtern My 13 year old has had long covid for 4 years. He has had covid 7 times in that 4 years including the 1st time. He developed long covid after the 1st infection and each subsequent infection just sets him back to square one. His immune system is shot. I’m scared what comes next

[Laura Murray @Flossiekin]

And here we go again. Boy starts Secondary school (1st year) in a week. Have managed to stay illness free all summer and now about to head into unventilated, packed classrooms. I don’t know how many more infections he can take, we’re at 7 up to now in 4 years

Looks like a summer wave starting in #Ireland, just as schools prepare to reopen. [Datum for 15 August: confirmed cases in hospital] https://t.co/FbKJu3zbA5

A 17 y/o just described sudden severe memory loss so intense they forget faces and names, lose stretches of time, keeps loosing things, and find themselves in places with no recollection of how they got there.

These are the exact cognitive symptoms repeatedly documented after a Covid infection. Post Covid brain injury is real.

And it is still happening to people while the world pretends the virus only ever causes mild colds.
The real fact is that Covid is still out here today permanently injuring young brains.

Please Irish journalists 🙏🏻

Please wake up

Kids back to their ventilationless, HEPA filterless schools next week.

Denied vaccines recommended in US

Zero public health information. Clear 2026 Information from WHO, CDC, OECD, US State Health Depts, UK COVID inquiry...

[Laura Murray @Flossiekin]

I don’t know why, but this really hits today. Perhaps it’s a reminder that whatever’s obstacles and challenges my boy and I are facing on his Long Covid journey we need to just face each day anew, and push the disbelievers and ableist’s aside

"How do you do it?" said night
"How do you wake and shine?"

Absolute crickets in the media.

Massive report, huge impact, response: total silence from government and press.

[tern @1goodtern]

Hmm.

[Peter A Smith @PeterAdamSmith]

If anyone on here knows my emotional pal from last night, please do help me get in touch. I’d like to buy him his breakfast this morning.

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

Remember that the existence of Long Covid and the fact that millions of people worldwide are suffering from it creates an extraordinary dissonance in the minds of a section of the population who wish to believe the falsity that Covid is no longer dangerous, and perhaps never was.

[tern @1goodtern]

Covid infections ruin lives.

Including lives that are only just starting.

[Megg Ní Raghallaigh @iammeggan]

My friends uncle is missing in Spain. Can everyone please share. Please god he’s found safe.

[Laura Murray @Flossiekin]

Rules to live by, especially the last one. Always choose kindness because you really don’t know…

[Alan LaCasse @AMLaCassePhoto]

Life's too short.

Eat the cake
Drink the wine
Smile at a stranger
Laugh out loud
Dance in the rain
Go on holiday
Tell them you love them
Wear what you want
Listen to the waves

More importantly be fucking kind to everyone, you don't know what they are going through.

[tern @1goodtern]

Why is it not common knowledge that covid infections damage your ability to resist *other infections*.

I remembered to change my clocks and just want @AerLingus to know that I’m very proud of myself

This lunatic needs a strait-jacket…

Is anyone going to stop him, or are we just going to let him bring the whole world down with him?

[Laura Murray @Flossiekin]

@Biggreenbooks 37 is my guess
