Long Covid isn't mild, ability to do day to day activities is
- adversely affected for 1.5m
- limited a lot for 381k
These are predominantly working age people so this will affect the labour market
It's not 'sick note culture' Rishi - it's Long Covid!

New Green Finance Institute report out today.
We are still in a pandemic. Today's Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that Covid-19 & increased prevalance of #LongCovid are of massive concern to the health & economy of the UK.
'The ongoing costs of its legacy, inc considerable global burden of Long Covid...'
Office for National Statistics (ONS) I actually believe the reality is much higher than this for these reasons
- Stigma
- Denial
- No appropriate testing
- Limited data collection
I have Long Covid, the most exasperating aspect is the continued repeat infections happening all around me, with zero protection 🦠
BBC Radio 4 Clip on #LongCovid
Almost a quarter of the adult workforce are either not seeking work or are deemed unable.
#LongCovid is undoubtedly one of the reasons for an increase in the number of people out of work post pandemic. (Note: we are still in a pandemic)
📣 It’s a huge day today for one of our Founding Members, Francesca Lo Castro, who is speaking at the Senate in Rome this afternoon on #LongCovid for the newly formed Rete Long Covid Italia! In bocca al lupo Francesca!!

Great 🧵 by Binita Kane on the #microclot preprint just out:
“a hypothesis is emerging that acute #COVID might cause microclotting in the majority of people, but in some people with #LongCovid the ability to clear the clots is defective. More research is needed”
