SUMMARY:Five years on: unmasking the pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Register at: https://bit.ly/5yearsca \nCovid has been with us for more than 5 years. \nThe failure of government and systems ended the lives of many who we mourn \nIt has deeply affected the lives of many of us who are reading this.\nSome of us are shielding\, others have Long Covid. \nSome of us see parallels between campaigns over Covid and other issues that have affected us from the way older and disabled people are viewed to organizing around HIV/AIDS \nSome of us came into activity for the first time during this pandemic \nMost of us are infuriated that even when the anniversaries have been marked mainstream media treat this as a history lesson not an ongoing fight for accountability over disastrous policies and practices together with clean air and other protections for today and the future. \nWe continue to assert that Covid isn’t over – as well as that improvements now are likely to useful for other similar\, and inevitable pandemics \nThat’s why the campaign call we are organizing on May 12 is so important. Joan Twelves will lead a discussion on these issues and more. \nWe want to hear the voices of everyone on this list.\nWhat should be our priorities for the Future?\nHow can we be more effective? \nIf you cant make it email your thoughts to: info@covidaction.uk ideally before the meeting

SUMMARY:May campaign call - the economic effects of the pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Go to https://bit.ly/covidactionmaycc to register! \nA new report by global economics consultancy Cambridge Econometrics reveals that Long Covid could have wider economic ramifications for the UK causing a drag on economic growth and added pressure on the NHS if no long-term healthcare funding commitments are made. \nFunded by direct giving fund Balvi\, and in partnership with Professor Emeritus in Public Health Ruairidh Milne from the University of Southampton\, the report used available evidence on the cost of Long Covid treatment\, economic inactivity among those living with the condition\, and prevalence in the UK population to consider the long-term macroeconomic impacts on wider UK society by 2030. \nBased on the assumption that there are no long-term healthcare funding commitments to manage Long Covid\, the results estimate that Long Covid is likely to reduce GDP by around £1.5bn and 138\,000 jobs each year. Were prevalence to increase to 4 million people per year by 2030\, the negative impacts would increase to a reduction of around £2.7bn in GDP and 311\,000 job losses each year. \n\nChris Thoung\, Director of Society at Cambridge Econometrics comments\, \n\nUsing our in-house macroeconomic model E3ME\, our analysis suggests Long Covid may represent a further source of chronic pressure on an already strained NHS and a drag on economic growth. There are long-term costs to the UK economy and the NHS. No firm policy position on Long Covid is as much a decision as policy action. \n\n\nWomen and low-income households are expected to bear the brunt of the employment impacts both as\ngroups experiencing higher prevalence of Long Covid and as groups more likely to be working in sectors\naffected by the macroeconomic effects. \n\nProfessor Milne comments\, \n\nLong Covid is a major public health challenge and I welcome one of the first macroeconomic impact assessments on Long Covid in the UK. This report clearly demonstrates why policy makers must take Long Covid seriously in terms of prevention\, research and healthcare. Doing so will help not only those living with the condition and their families\, but it will also reduce the economic burden of groups that are already experiencing the pressures of a cost-of-living crisis and an NHS under huge strain with extensive waiting lists. \n\n\n\nACCESS THE FULL REPORT HERE.\n\n
