“So what's really very different about it is its novelty. And I definitely feel that that one of the things that this pandemic taught us is that viruses can lead to long term manifestations.”

“I think we will end up in a position that we accept that Long Covid is multiple different conditions that are triggered by the same virus, but result in different consequences.”

There is hope… this week we talk to Dr Amy Small, GP and former Long Covid sufferer.

We speak to Frances Simpson one of the founders of the Long Covid Kids group and also to two young friends about how Long Covid has affected their lives.
