🚨Chair @covidinquiryuk interjects on @MattHancock’s evidence on NHS care: “I don’t understand how you can maintain that it was right to stop non-urgent elective care and then say it was always available to all according to need, because it wasn’t, was it.” #LongCovid

Please @robbiewilliams stop and listen to your body. You can't continue to do what you are doing and get better at the same time. Don't try and be a hero pushing through. You need to rest. #LongCovid
