German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach gives an update on Long COVID. Even those getting reinfected or infected after vaccination, again have the risk of getting Long COVID. We have many Long COVID cases, and with each wave of infections, more cases are added. We still do not have a cure for many of these patients. Many children and teenagers are also affected. Long COVID competence centers are now forming nationwide. #LongCovid (Engl. subtitles for the first 2 minutes:)

@ZurNull It is incredibly frustrating to see that he seems to understand the gravity of the issue but neither masks nor promotes any measures to prevent infections in general. Other countries have moved to improve air quality, in Germany available air filters are put into storage.
@ZurNull @IKostenas But no recommendation whatsoever about prevention still being useful and necessary. That would be his job, too.
@ZurNull Karl is doing a good job but him not masking undercuts his message. It's like saying doing this ⤵️ without eye protection is bad because it can cause damage to your eyes. Then proceeding to do it without eye protection..
@ZurNull @vicmidnightsun Tell the Germans to come to Ireland. The Ireland government says long covid numbers small in Ireland and the health executive the brain injury is not really brain injury; it’s neuropsychiatric and therapy will cure. It’s a no brainer.
