Background 
      • From a petition from NHS nurses:

          • Long Covid leaves victims with serious health issues, ranging from:
            •  heart problems,
            • loss of hearing, 
            • neurological (brain) damage and more. 

          • None  are guaranteed benefits or ill-health retirement. 

          • Long Covid isn’t even classed as a disability.


COVID19 MEDICINES


  • Utilise medicines for hospital treatment of Covid19
    from Cuba and China. 





Support Covid19 Vaccinations 

  • Support Covid19 Vaccinations, which help save the lives of people aged over 50, never mind 60, but also to protect all ages from severe illness and hospitalisation. Including those who have recovered from Covid19, as vaccines will have progressed to cope with new variants. 

  • Agree for choice by individuals of which vaccination to have, with your GP surgery / vaccination authority. 

  • Help 3rd world nations get access to Covid19 vaccinations, by helping to end patents on vaccines, so those countries can manufacture Covid19 vaccines themselves and give out their own vaccines. 

  • Give parents the right to approve vaccinations for children aged from 12 to 16, after which your teenager can approve their vaccination for themselves.
     
  • AstraZeneca vaccine is not for children. 

  • Look into research (from around the world) for Covid19 vaccines for children under age 12 to help prevent Long Covid after recovery. 



Equality of Treatment from Age 50

  • Forbid NHS hospitals from discharging Covid19 positive people aged over 50-60 onwards to care homes, and demand equality for ages above 50 to NHS hospital access to Covid19 treatment. 
  • Care home residents to get medical care for non-Covid ailments from GPs and by - 
  • in-patient NHS hospital care. 


PPE AVAILABILITY 


  • Look into 3D printing direct by NHS of protective hoods from airborne ailments, of NHS hospital staff, so no more private provision in NHS. 

    Background - Southampton hospital designed such a hood and now can be used beyond pandemic use (The PeRSo hood is now certified for all use as PPE by the British Standard Institute).
