📣Virtual demo for #cleanair and medical care for #PAIS + #ME/CFS! Beth Dobbin recently gave a very powerful interview. We support her demands. Write to Andy Burnham and your local representative! Despite many promises, ME care remains inadequate! 📣 #CallForPublicHealthAction

ThereForME@thereforme.bsky.social · last wk.

Beth Dobbin has written to Andy Burnham to ask for increased funding for ME research. We are working with her to amplify her message, and you can help (if capacity allows). Write to your MP to back her call - to make things easier, we have a template for you. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Images of Beth Dobbin and Andy Burnham with a graphic of an email going from Beth to Andy. Under Beth is her quote "I believe you need to fund research into this spiralling illness and help us all get our lives back." and also there is a small chart showing UK Govt Reearch funding 2019-2024. ME - £6.6m, Parkinsons, £79.1m and Dementia £496.4m. The text says "Beth Dobbin has written to Andy Burnham asking for increasing funding for ME research. You can help! Support Beth's call for ME funding by writing to your MP. Template letter available!"

Everyone is at risk of #LongCOVID. #CleanAir reduces that risk and has no downsides. That's why we're demonstrating alongside @nervbueddel.eurosky.social. 📢 #CallForPublicHealthAction 📢

We’re tired. It’s disheartening to watch people care less and less; to watch people get sick and not connect the dots. But as @anderbergskan.bsky.social says, change has to happen. Even if it takes time. So we’re still here. If not out of hope, then out of defiance. 📢 #CallForPublicHealthAction

Public health needs to be rebuilt into an ethical, scientific agency for continuous risk assessment of human safety. Back to back harmful infections and disability isn't good for you nor the economy. #callforpublichealthaction 🪧Virtual demonstration for

📢 #CallForPublicHealthAction Given the general state of the world today, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But by voicing our opinions, we can support those who are too ill to protest and ask for help themselves -- and we *can* make a difference if we're loud enough.

📣 #callforpublichealthaction Virtual demonstration for #cleanair + medical care for #PAIS + #ME/CFS! week 5️⃣5️⃣ The events of global horror are unfolding daily. BUT do not forget the victims of the pandemic who are isolated, debilitated + struggling in the dark for their care. Reskeet this demo! 🤍

Initiatives like this are so important. When the WHO and national health agencies fail to act on clear scientific evidence, it falls on the public and independent experts to push for change. Now let's hope the WHO listens and acts. #COVIDisairborne #CallForPublicHealthAction

The World Health Network’s open letter to WHO, signed by over 2,300, calls for respirator use as the standard in healthcare to protect patients and staff. Read here: whn.global/a-call-for-t... The letter emerged from work initiated through the Unpolitics meeting last year.

Indeed, there is still work to be done. Funnier comedians aren't on our requirement list a priori, but we do care about science-based public education about COVID and masks -- and if that education reaches Jon, he might become funnier too. #OneOfTheTwo #CallForPublicHealthAction

We agree with @kerstinsailer.bsky.social and her cute and clever frog that we should all protect each other over the holidays, because health is the best gift ❤️🎄 #CallForPublicHealthAction

Kerstin Sailer@kerstinsailer.bsky.social · 11mo ago

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20 - this frog is a reminder that protecting yourself and others as we approach the festive holidays is more important than ever #LongCovid #CallForPublicHealthAction

Drawing of a smug frog in a mask - I've done the amazing ENO Breathe programme, helping people with Long Covid to improve their breathing and finding joy in singing. Our fantastic instructor Suzi used this metaphor to help us breathe more easily when wearing a mask (which many of us do). So imagine you're pleased with yourself. That smug expression on your face makes breathing easier.

Economic burden of long COVID: macroeconomic, cost-of-illness and microeconomic impacts Published: 21 November 2025 Long COVID affects an estimated 36% globally, creating a huge economic burden: about $1 trillion a year worldwide, roughly $9,000 per US patient and $170 billion in lost US earnings.

A screenshot of an article page from npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine. The headline reads: “Economic burden of long COVID: macroeconomic, cost-of-illness and microeconomic impacts.” The article is written by Amit Bansal and published on 21 November 2025 as an open-access brief communication. The abstract text explains that Long COVID—defined as symptoms lasting more than three months after SARS-CoV-2 infection—poses a major global health and economic challenge. It notes a global prevalence estimate of 36%, with reported ranges from 1–92%. The article summarizes current estimates of economic impacts, including macroeconomic costs, cost-of-illness, and microeconomic effects. It highlights an average annual global economic burden of $1 trillion and about $9,000 per patient in the USA, where some individuals also face substantial out-of-pocket costs. Lost earnings in the USA are estimated at $170 billion annually. The abstract further mentions increased unemployment, financial distress, and work impairment lasting up to three years post-infection. The paper calls for standardised metrics, notes methodological discrepancies, and identifies research gaps, including the lack of longitudinal studies, limited economic aggregation, and insufficient data on long COVID subtypes, biomarkers, and intervention evaluations.
