🧡1️⃣ It’s UK Budget Day - so here’s a budget #RachelReeves hasn’t announced: a proper Long Covid Budget. We've estimated the real economic burden of Long Covid at Β£12-15 BILLION A YEAR.

At a £ a minute that puts us back in 26,500 BC - the Late Upper Paleolithic 😳

The worst part for me of the covid inquiry is that their key findings are still calling preventions restrictions and implying only vulnerable people are at risk when we know long covid is also a risk to everyone. No mention of airborne transmission. Basically nothing has been learnt.

The main cause of absence in schools: illness

Flu is dangerous to children and adults - especially if unvaccinated

Children and school staff can pass-on their illness to friends and family

100% Attendance Rewards used to be a thing; but they have no place during a big flu wave

Reminds me of paintings by Scottish artist Edward Atkinson Horner 1864 - 1933.

Keep Britain Working Review: Final report Keep Britain Working is an independent review of the role of employers in tackling health based economic inactivity and promoting healthy and inclusive workplaces.

1️⃣ 🧡 NEW: The government’s Keep Britain Working report claims to tackle the UK’s crisis of ill health & economic inactivity.

But it never mentions Long Covid.
Not once.
Not the pandemic either.

That’s not a small oversight β€” it’s a fundamental flaw. Let’s unpack why πŸ‘‡
