What does it mean to recover from Long Covid?

Here in the @bmj.com from a few weeks ago, Charlie Dennis, a final year student and @nisreenalwan.bsky.social write about how we’ve still not got a good definition of this, and that is hampering progress.

Except from BMJ article:

Defining recovery is essential for research, clinical care, and patient experience, say Charlie Dennis and Nisreen A Alwan

If you have long covid, how can you tell if you have fully recovered? Six years of evidence and collective lived experience show us that this is not an easy question to answer. Yet if we do not define recovery, we cannot properly count the number of people living with long covid, and its present and future impact on the population’s wellbeing, economic productivity, and health systems.

Long covid remains a substantial global health problem. A recent report estimated that this condition will cost countries in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) $11bn (£8.3bn; €9.6bn) a year in healthcare costs over the next decade. The projected economic costs are $135bn a year.

You are absolutely right.

Having worked in the NHS for four decades, we remain spectacularly bad at treating and caring for people with #mecfs and in fact many long term conditions that medical science doesn’t fully understand.

I think @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social is right in her assessment here.

Promoting walking for everyone is a good thing, but is this really the best way to get everyone more active?

From the @bmj.com back in the summer, but I’m just catching up now.

Excerpt:

NHS England recently announced plans to launch a new incentive scheme that will reward people who achieve 30 minutes of walking a day, adding up to a “marathon in a month.” I see several weaknesses in this plan.

A quarter of the adult population do less than 30 minutes of exercise in a whole week. This is the group who stand to gain the biggest health improvements from any exercise, but they are unlikely to start doing 30 minutes of walking every day. I worry that the new incentive, and the funding, effort, and media outreach behind it, will attract only the people who are active already, further widening health inequalities.

Evidence suggests that incentive schemes lead to minimal long term behaviour change, so this scheme won’t tackle deep rooted cultural and behavioural determinants of inactivity.There is a science to behaviour change. Capability, opportunity, and motivation are required to change behaviour. A third of adults claim that they don’t have the opportunity to be active because of time constraints, safety concerns, or where they live.

The court called it an attack on the rule of law and said no one should be punished for serving justice. Going after the people who investigate war crimes is not strength.
