Researchers say healthcare system failing long Covid patients
A researcher is calling on the government to provide dedicated funding for long Covid.
Recent research in New Zealand shows that Long Covid sufferers feel let down by the health system:
"The picture painted by participants was bleak with a sense that the world had moved on from Covid-19 and left them behind."

โ๏ธ Komeet C/2025 #Lemmon in de Dolomieten! We hebben afgelopen week niet alleen herfstkleuren en sneeuw gezien, maar er stond ook een mooie komeet aan de hemel. Afstand tot de aarde is ~95 miljoen km. In een gebied met weinig lichtvervuiling en rotsgebergtes, is dat natuurlijk een schitterende bonus!

If you do talk about Long Covid Kids today, can you highlight the fact that the ONS is no longer collecting any data about how many chn have Long Covid in the UK? Despite the fact the number of children suffering DOUBLED from March 23- March 24.
How can this be right?

Australian researchers unlocking secrets of COVID-19 may have landed on new ways to reduce organ injury from heart attacks and stroke
The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused enormous global healthcare challenges and further led to longer-term health complications for millions of infected individuals. Much remains to be learned about the virus, but one thing is clear: the SARS-CoV-2 virus can unleash widespread, systemic effects throughout the body due to its ability to cause damage to endothelial cells (termed endotheliitis). This process is associated with microvasculature dysfunction and is a major cause of the acute and chronic complications (Long-COVID-19) of the disease.
"Australian researchers unlocking secrets of COVID-19 may have landed on new ways to reduce organ injury from heart attacks and stroke"
SARS-CoV-2 can damage endothelial cells, disrupting blood flow and oxygen delivery. This microvascular injury drives organ damage and Long COVID.

The graphic includes a yellow shopping trolley icon and text noting that Scottish Government funding for Long Covid is only ยฃ9.70 per patient per year. Produced by Long Covid Scotland.
