Losing my job to #LongCovid has been really tough.
But the support I’ve had from family, friends and people on here has been overwhelming.
I hope my post about it has helped people understand how debilitating and disabling this disease is.
It's time for government to step up.
@sainsburys Yesterday's order, which arrived about 4pm, contained coleslaw that went out of date yesterday. We were not told it was short dated. We're now unable to eat it.
[10 Dec 2024] Opening Remarks from @DrTedros at WHO media briefing:

“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

. @sainsburys Yet again, your ordering system has glitches! 10 banana items became 1Okg. 3 carrots, 3kg!! After the 1st time, I check very carefully that I've ticked items. You're losing money because the whole lot is refunded. Please sort it out.
The moment you've all been waiting for 🥁
