Exploring how data analysis and simulation modelling can help us better understand the world.
As well my thoughts on data analysis, I provide weekly status updates on Covid and the NHS. Click on the tabs in the menu bar to explore these topics.
Thanks for such an accessible briefing - good level of detail and helpful points. So frustrating that there is no interest in government but having information presented so clearly is an important prerequisite for influencing. Is there any information on what the two million were doing pre-LC, particularly the most affected?
Thankyou for your comments -- it's much appreciated.
The latest Long Covid survey does not provide details on what people were doing before contracting Long Covid. However, the previous survey did offer data on the prevalence of Long Covid by occupation.
The final report indicated that in March 2023, the highest prevalence of self-reported Long Covid was in Social Care at 5.1%, followed by Health Care at 4.2%. It seems likely that the current situation remains similar, given that these professions are more exposed to Covid.
A good brief. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks -- glad you found it of interest.
