Two points: first, there is no 'after Covid'. There is 'after the end of societal non-pharmaceutical interventions'. Second, Covid can cause both prolonged fatigue and prolonged cognitive dysfunction. Because Covid is so common, population level effects are inevitable.
After COVID, people's social skills have drastically declined. Many have less patience for each other, and simple interactions can feel awkward. Everyone seems more comfortable staying home and avoiding people.

Masks are great. But they aren’t magic. Throw a high enough viral load into an inadequately ventilated room and give it enough time, and keep repeating that experience, eventually the mask won’t work. Solo masking can do an awful lot, but eventually luck is also needed 1/2
Does anybody else who regularly wears a mask feel like a super fuckup/failure/loser when they get sick?

I’d been wondering when mainstream media would finally start warning about the major COVID wave we’re currently in. Whether we’d just keep seeing alerts about hospitals buckling under the pressure, without any mention of the underlying cause? Just keep calm & carry on…
🚨NHS HOSPITALS DECLARING CRITICAL INCIDENTS These alerts have all been posted in the last 3 days. It’s not even October yet. Flu season hasn’t got going yet. This should not be happening… …and yet it is, because there’s another pesky virus we’re not allowed to mention 🤫

The Covid wave in England continues to grow very fast. As of 27 September, 1 in every 234 people were infected, up 31% on the previous week. We are now recommending that Covid-Cautious people take full precautions, including a PPE mask, in ALL indoor places. A thread 🧵

I just don't get it 🤔 I've been offered a Free Flu Vaccination on the NHS - URGENTLY. I.e. within 4 days of receiving the email. I am judged as being at high risk from the Flu. But the SARS virus that gave me blood clots, a Pulmonary Embolism AND Long Covid isn't a threat?

1. Sometimes I find it difficult to remain professional and measured on this platform. This is one of those occasions, as I watch politicians seemingly unable to grasp the fact that with Covid in a state of constant and unmitigated transmission, children will be sick more often..

There's a covid wave, sickening millions, and disabling and killing and damaging immune systems, nervous systems, circulatory systems and organs ahead of winter. So here on social media the big trend is to attack people who are covid conscious instead of attacking the virus.

As a mum of a current fresher who’s currently unwell, this is my biggest fear 😭 Freshers flu my arse. It’s Covid. I’ve done more freshers weeks than most & I was never unwell & in 45 years have never had flu. Covid, a completely different story. Folks be deluded.
A friend's daughter caught Covid then flu at the start of university a year ago, and her health took such a hit that she had to drop out, and is now restarting her course. A year later, and she's been ill in bed with Covid for her first two weeks back in uni halls. 😥

I am a fully qualified sensible level headed GP. I didn’t understand post viral energy depleting illnesses properly, because I had never been taught about them. Why? Because some drs decided they were psychological. And everything from then on was influenced by that. That is borderline criminal IMHO

Absolutely abandoned. My daughter manages two lessons per week at home. She cannot go out very often. And over 110k children (at least) with it. Probably double that at least with so many undiagnosed. Just completely forgotten. youtu.be/xu3r2j_k2Fk

“I'm ashamed to say that my very first reaction to that diagnosis was, oh my God, I don't want her to have that because that was a label, a stigma that you are taught in medicine.” Dr Binita Kane speaking about her daughter’s diagnosis of #MECFS following Covid.

“My baby had Covid and was fine” Did your baby tell you how their endothelial function, immune system & neurodevelopment are doing compared to baseline? Did they explain their risk profile for future disease? Or are you just guessing because they didn’t drop dead on the spot?

Today is #worldMEday and part of #MEawarenessweek I’ve had this horrific disease since I was 14yrs old. A fit, health and active teenager, until I got a severe gastric flu, and never recovered. For the last 7yrs in various ways my health has been declining, until near death

A great honour to share my thoughts on sugar, UPFs and addiction with @drchatterjeeuk Time to take this seriously especially for our children @lowcarbgp @DoctorTro @KenDBerryMD @FAS_TheCHC @FoodAddictionI1 @BittenJonsson @grantsnz @ProfTimNoakes @DoctorChrisVT
Have we become a bit too comfortable with sugar? Research suggests that up to 20% of adults, and increasing numbers of children, may be affected by food addiction, with real consequences for both physical and mental health. Yet the idea is still often dismissed, which can prevent people from getting the support they need. In this week's new episode of my 'Feel Better, Live More' podcast, clinical psychologist @drjenunwin shares simple, practical ways to better understand cravings, reshape your environment and regain a sense of control in today’s food landscape. I really feel this is a conversation we’ve been avoiding for far too long. My hope is that it brings some clarity, reassurance and practical support. Tune in to episode 652 of 'Feel Better, Live More', out now in all the usual places!

I wasn’t going to talk about this, but I thought it would have gone away by now and it hasn’t. And I know I am not the only one who has been shaken by it. We accept we have to do hard stuff in medicine, it’s what we do. But to know that absolutely no lessons have been learned from the pandemic and we are utterly expendable in the face of a public health issue, felt like a slap round the face.
