“The pandemic has exposed a massive blind spot in science and medicine,” says former Team GB rower Oonagh Cousins. She highlights how COVID-19 has obstructed biomedical research for Long COVID cures.

@oonagh_cousins@skysarahjane Then your autopilot served you very very well! I'm sure many can relate to that feeling.........just not whilst being interviewed on Sky News 😜
🎂Today is the 4th anniversary of our Founding Member @ClaireHastie1 creating our #LongCovid peer support Facebook group. A bittersweet birthday - we’d rather everyone was well & we weren’t needed. Instead the group has 65k+ members in 100 countries.
We get you. We’ve got you.
It’s disturbingly Orwellian that, on #InternationalLongCovidDay, there is a concerted effort across the press to downplay the condition. How awful for anyone struggling with #LongCovid.
@long_covid To be referred would be nice. GPs won't refer me anywhere as I have long COVID, they don't see the point. Only referral I've had was to the LC clinic where I was discharged after 3 sessions with some breathing exercises and the advice that I'll get better over time - 2+ years in
Please sign our #LongCovid petition for urgent investment in the UK.
We're calling for:
➡️Dedicated Research Funding
➡️Collaborative Research Initiatives
➡️Treatment Trials
➡️Public Awareness and Education
➡️Support Service Provision

Thank you Simon for sharing your story with @AliMirajUK@LBC and thank you to Simons work for making accommodations.
Finding that work/rest balance is critical and often not achievable when you have #LongCovid
We need investment in research. We need treatment.
#TreatLongCovid
Long Covid has a huge impact on how you identify.
Many lives are defined by who you are as an athlete, your career, academics etc.
It's hard to figure it out whats left when it's all stripped away.
People at high risk are advised to wear a mask in crowded places, to get boosters & to ensure adequate ventilation indoors. "We urge governments to maintain & not dismantle the systems they built for COVID-19." @DrTedros#CovidIsAirborne#CleanAir#MaskUp
