#FBLC Campaigning to get UK Govt to urgently back research and treatments for #LongCovid & #MECFS

[Tim Shirra @shirra_tim]

Govt has responded (👇). My initial thoughts? Govt has written off approx 300 times more on Covid fraud and failed PPE than it has invested in #LongCovid and #MECFS.

I've signed the petition calling for an emergency budget which increases Universal Credit. Will you add your name to ensure that the government has to address this urgent issue? https://t.co/yELWi4nxEz

I’ve signed the petition calling on the Government to move faster to stop raw sewage being dumped in our rivers. 40 beaches had pollution warnings this week - we need action now. Join me and add your name: https://t.co/LdCCjYeSzh

@BinitaKane This is just awful - yet HCPs are going to go a functional psychiatric route whilst the Long Covid paediatric researchers investigate psychosocial causation. We need deep systemic change

Thousands of #ghostflights fly above our heads. European governments can rebel against the European rule that forces empty flights that pollute and fuel #climatecrisis. Let’s make our governments rebel against this! https://t.co/wZ1N1q3oxu

With news that @BootsUK is selling lateral flow tests for £6 EACH, I’m calling on @BootsUK @LloydsPharmacy @LidlGB @superdrug to not use lateral flow tests to turn a profit by committing to selling lateral flow tests at cost price. #COVID19

ONS: "since the pandemic began in March 2020,
🚨 almost 1 in 100 (0.97%) children in primary schools and
🚨 [almost 1 in 36] 2.74% of secondary school pupils
fulfilled all the criteria for suffering from Long Covid"

@wendychambLD @KateCushing2 Many thanks for raising this in the house. Gvt Strategy fails to recognise and respond to long Covid as a mass disabling event. Many left ‘existing’ rather than living. Covid comes at a huge personal cost.

@wendychambLD Thank you for standing up for people with #LongCovid

@wendychambLD Thank you, Wendy.

@wendychambLD @Zoso771 Thank you so much from all of us with long covid.
(It’s hard to fathom the empty chamber, the lack of attendance of Sajid Javid & the arrogance of Steve Baker trying to distract from the debate & the Gov Stooge whittling on about Ukraine and vaccines.)
Thank you for all you said!

@wendychambLD Thanks for raising the issue of #LongCovid and for sharing this video

It clearly illustrates in my opinion the Johnson administration's obvious leaning towards not assuming responsibility for their own policy

Damning for Johnson

[Wendy Chamberlain @wendychambLD]

For many people living with covid means living with long covid, but the prime minister didn’t set out a strategy to help them in his statement on Tuesday. Last night I led a debate and set out my concerns about the lack of support and guidance.
