Long Covid is very much a thing, unfortunately.

I don't think people are arguing it isn't a thing.

I have heard it mentioned many many times, maybe since autumn of last year.

Listening to liveline today, all these folk were saying no-one is talking about it, which isn't true. It gets coverage ok.

And as sad as some cases are, I think most of those on the show today were exaggerating their ills. But that's the nature of callers to liveline, they can say what they want unchallenged. With no alternative voice to argue.

It was unreal when he suggested to one of them (not the fragile one) to call herself an ambulance so they couldn't refuse her treatment. That was very unprofessional to be directing people with chronic symptoms to an overwhelmed emergency department who would send her home straight away. It would be an abuse of emergency services and the system.

Roses are red
Violets are bloo
Liveline's a wind-up
And Duffy's a ghoul

Roses are red
Dis, dat, deze an doze
Joe's got de horn
For doze in repose

I had to switch off when Gareth was sitting on the side of his bed and the patient was dying in the next cubicle.

It was the Chaplain praying loudly and Gareth overhearing it that really got to me.

Today's Mr Duffy's nets will be circled entirely on the new seem of misery "long Covid". The single figure deaths on Monday really blew the misery and shock and awe off course.

I hope Ronan and Patricia listening to Claire Byrne, feature on PTSD, very insightful, later for Frank & Una there's a travel Slot

Nearly time for him to appear on The Ronan Collins Show and tell us what misery will be coming up today ..... although we all know what it'll be.

He'll be discussing de topic of "LC Long Covid" like HE discovered it and like it's on a par with the discovery of a cure for cancer. Wait and see.

At least he played a clip of Laura, who was probably the only person on the show yesterday who was really suffering, the rest were exaggerating to get attention.

Skoy News has now got a permanent counter on top left of screen showing total in UK who received dose 1 and total who received dose 2. Some positivity RTE should be looking at doing although our current figures are nothing to write home about.

Agreed but tbh even if its low in comparison I would still like to see it there and going up every day. Maybe like what % of the level that is currently receiving it has been done and total numbers vaccinate. It would be nice to see some positive movements but this would be counter to RTEs agenda of convincing us that ireland is the sickest nation on earth and essentially a leper colony populated by the walking dead at the edge of europe.

Re Long Covid "Diagnosis"

Posted this before, I'm sure. Before Christmas I was told by a medical consultant that he considered I had Long Covid.... IN FACT what I simply had was a nasty unaddressed dental infection which was restricting top of my airway, with a reactive arthritis syndrome; with every medic having been afraid to look too near my mouth/throat area.

Everything will be put down to LC, sometimes to the detriment of addressing maybe something else that's there.

I made the mistake of not turning over from Today FM when we were having our dinner yesterday.

We nearly choked when we heard Sam McConkey tell us that it would be 3-5 years before we returned to normality.

Maybe that's the reason that I'm finding today particularly unbearable. Probably better not to listen to Liveline so I'm thinking.

Sam McConkey is some kind of psychological sadist. I remember him saying it would be 10 years before we could socialise normally again. Now I'm quite pessimistic-realistic by nature but he is criminally pessimistic and shouldn't be allowed share it for fear of the collapse of public morale.

I think this is the most difficult part of the pandemic, tbh. Am very frustrated myself, and especially at this minute as I'm trying to shake off a respiratory infection that refuses to respond to antibiotics. Under any other circumstance I'd be put and about with it, yes maybe with a few lie-ins and taking it easier, but I'm stuck in situ trying to sneak down to letterbox and rubbish bins late in the evening to avoid meeting anyone. It's being responsible for my virus getting to somebody vulnerable that worries me terribly.

Dobbo trolling Joe now with Long COVID segment on News at One.

That’s the Long COVID that no one is talking about, according to Joe.
