Long covid seems to be an umbrella term for various different post-covid sequelae. Some of these sequelae are similar to ME/CFS. Others (e.g. loss of sense of smell) are not.

Ah yes, this explains* why I was fine with the first two doses despite expecting side effects, and the booster hit me like a truck despite expecting to have no issue with it. (I am okay now thankfully!) * sarcasm

Isn’t that the name of the Health Secretary? Haha

"I seem to be doing okay no side effects yet" *Lifts up my arm to take my shirt off* "OKAY I HAVE SIDE EFFECTS"

I've just been given Moderna booster. After first two doses having been Pfizer. Any idea what I should expect in terms of side effects?

I did a stats module at uni but I am RUSTY haha! Plus never sure whether I can assume that the media are communicating statistics accurately.

Heh I know Abi Palmer she was at uni with me!!! Well, a few years ahead of me, she was a postgrad when I was starting undergrad. She was setting up a group for disabled students, which was my first ever involvement in any kind of disability group (I'd been diagnosed as autistic just the previous...

Also it's a dumb response. They're gonna talk to Findley about the allegations... and then he'll say "no I didn't do those things", and then what?
