TIL: Boris Johnson once disfigured a Long Covid report he was supposed to read by scrawling the word ‘bollocks’ over it.

Absolute moron.

Long Covid is of course, uncontroversially, very real, can be very devastating to people’s lives, and is common enough that most of us know one or more people who suffered from it to varying extents.

Back in March 2023, it was estimated that almost 2 million UK residents - i.e. the people that Johnson was supposed to be serving - actively had the condition at that time.
