Long Covid has been shrouded in mystery for much of the pandemic. But new research has finally shone a light on those who suffer a whole range of symptoms weeks or even months after they stopped being infectious.
New data from the Office of National Statistics has now revealed approximately 1.3 million people in the UK have self-reported long Covid as of December 6.
These estimates are based on participants who responded to a survey, rather than everyone in the population who had been clinically diagnosed with long Covid. This is a staggering number, adding up to 2% of the population. Trends spotted among long Covid sufferers:
They tend to be between 35 and 69 years.
They are usually female.
They might live in a more deprived area.
They work in health, social care or teaching and education.
They deal with another activity-limiting health condition or disability.
I can see his point of view, I'm not really putting blame anywhere, but surely you can see the woman does not come out of this Lilly white.
Had she pursued him through legal channels and not tried to shake him down for money I would feel more sympathy for her.
She was old enough to know what she was doing and no I would not equate you with her, 17 is well above the age of consent in the UK. I think he was a fool to get himself in this position, and he has been punished by his peers.
But she was far from the innocent party. This is just my opinion.
The word being used in the press today is scarlet woman, it really describes the woman, and it seems a lot of women on CS identity with her, what an eye opener
Why do guys set themselves up like that, Royalty has never been very good at keeping it in their trousers, but they have such a lot to lose, maybe that's it that little bit of danger
She just wanted her way with me I guess the length some women will go to getting out of the washing, cleaning cooking ironing etc, why don't they just get on with it??
