Blyth ex-GP says long Covid patients are being forgotten The NHS in the North East and Cumbria is closing its last dedicated long Covid clinics this month.

"Covid isn't over. We'd love it to be, and the messaging might sound like it is, but it's not gone and it's still causing long Covid.
A lot of the patient community are feeling left behind and stuck in this nightmare when everyone else is moving on", Dr Rae Duncan.

First page of the manuscript: Distinct brain alterations and neurodegenerative processes in cognitive impairment associated with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19

Very important study and more evidence that #NeuroCovid can contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. When they say 'it's all in your head', they might be trying to be dismissive, but are accidentally being very realistic.

V4. So I deleted the numbers and dashed the box around "land on people and surfaces" as this is an interim step before contact or further airborne dispersal.

Still writing the book on IPC.
Been through every single IPC guideline involving hands - I can find no evidence that handwashing / hand hygiene is the single most important way to prevent HAI.
More soon.
