Would #CleanAir impact healthcare workers health, & sickness absence? 🤔🤯

There are easy & effective solutions #Ventilation & #MaskUp 😷

Worth remembering that the risk of #LongCovid increases with each Covid infection

Thank you @BethDobbin for sharing your story on @GMB. Our group is made up of physios &other HCWs whose lives & health have been devastated by covid infections. Like you, they used to love their careers. Now many of them are bedbound or housebound & unable to work.

Six years ago, Beth Dobbin was competing at the highest level of international sport, representing Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics. Now, she is bedbound for up to 22 hours a day after being diagnosed with ME.

Commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome, the condition has been described by Dobbin as “life-decimating”.

She has written a letter calling on the Prime Minister to meet with her and commit to more funding for research.

Dobbin’s fellow athletes Keely Hodgkinson, Tom Daley and Dina Asher-Smith have also signed the letter. #ME #illness #Olympics

Well this is interesting

After 2y we abandoned Covid precautions in the community

Sent lots of Covid cases to Emergency Dept,

And lots of Covid-assisted cases,

Then stopped wearing masks in hospital,

And our EDs have since become backed up beyond recognition

I wonder if there is any connection

Hmm

🤨 🧐 🤔

Advocacy is exhausting when you are this unwell. Huge thanks to @BethDobbin and everyone else in the community who uses their limited energy to try and make a difference.
Things need to change.
We need rapid and significant investment in proper research and treatment.

Hi everyone, we’ve been working on something 🙏🏼 I’ve written a second letter to Andy Burnham, alongside 360 sports people, to urge him to meet with me and fund research into my much neglected health issue which impacts millions of others.

I can’t believe 360 people signed in just 1 week, so many amazing names and messages still coming in of people wanting to add theirs (so feel free to message to add yours, we’re keeping on the pressure!!!)

The list includes 114 Olympians, with 77 medals between them (and that’s not even including Worlds and Europeans 🤯). Also some huge names from football and many other sports!!

Thank you SO much to everyone that signed, I can’t tell you how much it means to me when I’m truly at rock bottom ❤️❤️❤️

I know everyone wants their issues taken seriously, but this has been neglected like nothing else. WE HAVE 0 APPROVED TREATMENTS!!! Please listen 🙏🏼 @andyburnham @number10gov @UKLabour @DHSCgovuk
