1. Remember that any attempt to paint Long Covid as psychogenic in nature deliberately and completely incorrectly biologically decouples SARS-CoV-2 infection from Long Covid. In essence, this rhetoric shifts the causative factor for LC from the virus to the patient's mind.

Incredible speech delivered by Baroness Linforth in the House of Lords today calling for clean indoor air in schools.

“It would cost less than a tenner per child per year to provide pupils and staff with clean air - about the same cost as a coffee and a cake.”

Don't ever forget that your government upgraded the air filtration in its main government buildings during an airborne pandemic, but not the hospital you attend or your mum's care home or your kids' daycare or prisons or shelters.

IMO disabled ppl & carers must not accept meetings, events & 'themes' as real progress. They must only be a means to an end.

The end should be increased services, access, facilities & rights.

If these things don't follow the meetings & inclusive themes haven't delivered a thing

"Following the agreement on the draft strategy, the document was slammed as “not fit for purpose”, with almost 50 charities signing a letter saying families facing poverty “deserved better”."

It varied from country to country, but things started getting noticeably worse when two events happened: first, the widespread transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and second, the accompanying politicisation of any pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical response to the virus.

Hawthorn is known as the #May Tree. It gifts love & healing & is sacred to the goddess Brigid. “Bringing in the May” meant bringing in an abundance of hawthorn to adorn the outside of dwellings. It is known as a fairy tree & as such should never be harmed. #FolkloreSunday

The #FlowerMoon rises in Scorpio on #May1st. Named by Native Americans after the abundance of flowers now as the weather warms up. Also known as Budding Moon, & in Anglo Saxon #MilkMoon, due to cows having three milkings a day in May. #fullmoon #MayDay #1stMay #FolkloreSunday
