It’s by design. Economically driven but short term gains.

Non disabled people were livid during stay at home orders. They found the idea of being forced to stay home unpalatable, yet they’re only too happy to demand the disabled do it for the rest of our lives.
Clean air & masking make spaces accessible.

I had shingles twice in 3 years and wasn’t considered eligible under PBS. They should include folk that are susceptible also.

New: A summary of a series of podcasts on #longCOVID. Includes comments from me. It’s important to stress that although primary disease severity is a risk factor for LC, bc of the sheer numbers involved, most people with LC only had a mild initial illness.

Leading long COVID researcher fears it could become a national epidemic.
Dr. David Putrino: “Your risk of going on to develop long COVID increases slightly with each infection, even if you recover just fine from the last infection”

This article is basically what my Dr Said. I should have said "Can be age related" despite younger folk getting it. I have had both shoulders frozen also, for me, hormone change does weird things. Shoes can help, lots of support, recommended a "Boot". It's very painful. All the best

See a physio if possible to get advice on Calf lift safety. Sorry it’s age related and yes from lack of strength in calves :( very frustrating.

“Denying the Seriousness of Long COVID Is Dangerous for Me – and You”
On Long COVID Awareness Day, pleased to publish this piece for Zeteo from @juliadoubleday.bsky.social
This #LongCovidAwarenessDay I’m reflecting on how many people have been let down by governments, public health & medical establishments
How Covid has been downplayed, airborne spread ignored & vaxx and relax strategies pushed for the sake of capitalism
How many have Long Covid because of this? 🧵
Long.…..
