Long COVID Scotland - Dr. Sally
Witcher and Jane Ormerod.
Sally Witcher, PhD and Jane Ormerod
from long COVID Scotland discuss the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and
long COVID in the United Kingdom and Scotland. The presenters stressed
the lack of available healthcare for those suffering from long COVID and
also the lack of gathering data and transparency regarding the magnitude
of the problem. Governmental strategies are over reliant on vaccinations
and even if vaccines produced ironclad durable immunity, they are not
widely available to the general public. Few if any are masking,
including medical personnel in major healthcare centers. Similar to many
countries, there is rampant misinformation which is inhibiting the
public health response. Currently, the United Kingdom's workforce is
being adversely affected to a large degree by chronic illnesses, but
there remains little discussion or recognition of the impacts of long
COVID.
