But the newspaper coverage - and that of the BBC - ignores these basic facts in favour of 'enemies of the people' type coverage. And I can't pretend not to be very worried indeed about what this means for some very fragile norms, around human rights and the rule of law, in the UK.

Germany invests €500M in long COVID and other post-infection syndromes
Germany is among many countries facing a growing burden from long COVID. Up to 1 in 5 Germans (2022) and 1 in 7 Americans (2023) had long COVID, and long COVID is estimated to cost the global economy about US$1 trillion annually

Scientists at Yale say long COVID is part of a “long-established family of post-acute infection syndromes.” The biggest challenge is understanding its “underlying pathobiology.” They were “surprised” how often children are affected, noting kids are also vulnerable to “long-term effects.”
