Wow!

@BBCNews found a woman whose daughter’s outpt appointment was cancelled today.

They clearly thought she would be anti the nurses strikes.

Instead she gave the most intelligent and empassioned argument for decent pay for nurses I have heard yet.

Bravo!

@fionaduffypsy Thank you!!

This is the time of year for a favourite Old English word: the leaves are 'fallowing', from the verb fealwian, 'to turn yellow-gold'. In Anglo-Saxon poetry fealo (fallow) is the golden-brown shade of fire, linden shields, bay horses and autumn leaves. They fallow, then they fall.

Word of the day is 'filipendulous' (19th century): hanging by a thread.

@ColetteFoley I've found a silver lining. Dutyfree when flying London to Dublin. Who needs peace and stability in the North, replenish your whiskey collection.

I think a lot of people assume #LongCovid is a continuation of the acute COVID symptoms, that just take a long time to get over.

In reality it is an often delayed onset of *new* neurological, immunological, cardiovascular, and systemic symptoms.

By Dermot Bolger. My annual posting of this poem, more poignant this year for me. To all your ‘absent friends’ too. X

@abbyhonold Abby, keep the faith. I am at almost 6 months. there was a sudden massive improvement at about 4months after what felt like no progress at all. But yes the focus on mortality rather than disability is so unhelpful to public health and compliance

[darsipan @DaireCallanan]

@HelenORahilly It is the best. Every year, i hunt for the lost tape.

@JCeoltaSmith @rcot @JuliaScottRCOT @MattHancock @rcgp @long_covid @LongCovidSOS As an OT and someone with long covid, please oh please! It would be so beneficial
