1 in 16 people in #Exeter currently have #COVID19 and many of them will be passing it on to others due to a lack of testing.
Thousands more people with disabling #LongCovid. We can't ignore this on-going pandemic for ever.

To any #NHS, #socialcare worker (and beyond) that needs to hear the starfish story. 🌟 We all make a difference every single day, don't forget that. #NHSheroes #InThisTogether @RDEhospitals @RDESpecServices @RDEMedicine @RDECommunity @RDE_Ensure @EStaffside @rob_wickins @ros_wade

And again like with alpha, beta and delta, who’ll be using debilitating #LongCovid following Omicron as a pandemic metric? As in not only looking at deaths and acute hospital admissions but also lingering functional disability to decide response? No one again? 😒

Why can’t ‘living with the virus’ involve masks and ventilation? Something I never understood about that narrative.

People arguing against mitigations in schools claiming they are worried about kids’ mental health.
I don’t understand how letting children get infected and perhaps infect their family members is going to help with that.
If you want to help people’s mental health, control covid.

Work in rehabilitation in the UK. The only rehabilitation-specific organisation, the British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine may change its name. Read why, see the arguments, and comment. rehabilitationmatters.com/re… We, (me and @BSRehabMed) are interested in your views
Good to see @jane_milligan at the RD&E today and have a brief chat about developing rehabilitation in the south west. Looking forward to the peninsula Neurorehabilitation review restarting @LizDavenportNHS

British Society of Rehabilitation Medicine members are debating adding Physical (BSPRM) rehabilitationmatters.com/re… All members and all UK professionals should read the two posts published. Comments from non-members are wanted; will it alter your perception of the BSRM? In what way?

DW. An important study emphasising the uncertainty in giving an early prognosis after traumatic brain injury. E.g. Of 79 deeply unconscious patients at 2 weeks, by 12 months: all regained consciousness; 18 shopped alone; 10 worked, 6 without deficit. ow.ly/7Pdq50FR6pK
