Boris Johnson thinks long Covid is ‘b******s’? He should try dragging himself a mile in my shoes

The Independent  

So, Boris Johnson thinks that long Covid is b******s, does he? But dismissive attitudes – the former prime minister’s, or people in my everyday life – don’t make any difference to the fact that three years after contracting Coronavirus in the first wave of the pandemic, I am still suffering. For the first week or so, it felt like a normal cold – it was also the time when we were told that if you were sneezing and didn’t have a temperature that it was highly unlikely to be Covid and “just” a cold. At around the three week mark, I thought I was over it – my taste and smell were back, and I’d started to feel more like myself again. This time, I spent three days in bed as a result – and that’s when my other symptoms started to appear.
