Failure to consider long Covid impact will hit UK economy, says expert
Dr Nathalie MacDermott says condition has substantial impact on people’s ability to work and costs to government and business
"The UK will pay an economic price for failing to consider long Covid when lifting restrictions and recommending vaccinations for children, a doctor has warned.
The decision to drop all Covid rules in England was largely based on whether the NHS could handle the number of sick patients, but far more people are expected to develop long-term medical problems after fighting off the virus.
Speaking at a Royal Society conference on the Science of Covid on Thursday, Dr Nathalie MacDermott, a specialist in paediatric infectious disease at King’s College London, said high levels of infection would result in more long Covid that would blight people’s lives, harm children’s education and undermine the economy."
[It's a scandal that this point still needs to be made]
