Good data, methods seem acceptable, stats appear OK; data is only to 2021 which is a limitation but not fatal. This is another study showing that Long Covid is an unhelpful descriptor which at a population level is difficult to discern from background ill health. Undoubtedly the authors have an...

Former academic ( resigned from KCL last year). He is probably the only notable UK science commentator currently writing in popular media. Mostly on the ball although he went a bit weird on Geoffrey Hinton's cassandra moment, still he has a flare for connection to common culture not evident in...

Not sure if this might not deserve its own thread as having wider relevance than just the pandemic, but this does provide context for the UK Covid 19 data: Healthy people, prosperous lives: The first interim report of the IPPR Commission on Health and Prosperity "The UK is getting poorer and...

Article makes the claim that "Evidence suggests that LC affects twice as many women as men" which is based on a single reference (Long Covid in adults discharged from UK hospitals after Covid-19) which was a 2021 study of just 357 hospitalised patients, that study says: "In our study, being...
