From mountain hiking, OCR, open water swimming, gym, getting up at 5am to get into the office for 7am on a Sunday (the day after returning home from holiday) because I loved my work so much to … barely functioning. Don’t ever think it can’t happen to you 😷

Society treats covid safety the same way it treats cyclists' safety—"you do you", place the burden solely on the vulnerable (who may nonetheless suffer from others' mistakes), ignore the many upsides of investing in collective infrastructure (protected bike lanes, cleaning the air)

stock image of a baby getting CPAP (positive pressure ventilation), similar to the case I'm describing

Saw a 1m old premature baby struggling to breathe... had bronchiolitis, inflammation of the airways, which has a bunch of viral causes including Covid.
The whole resuscitation team was masked.
The parents and visiting family were not.
We are failing these kids.

I'm not asking healthcare professionals to watch TV or keep up with the news. I'm asking them to read the most influential medical periodical in the world? Don't psychologise #LongCovid patients.
