As they become identified, these various sequelae tiredness, loss of smell and taste, or shortness of – the pandemic is barely more than a year old and breath and cough. we are still far from fully understanding it – are the subject of several international studies. On 9 People aged 35–49 most likely to report symptoms of long February WHO organized a virtual international Covid seminar (2) specifically devoted to this question, Percentage of people reporting a symptom at least five weeks from assumed date of infection thus recognizing the existence of this entity. This Long Covid must "be considered of the utmost importance" for health authorities, said the WHO Regional Director for Europe. A study published in The Lancet, involving more than 1,700 hospital patients in China, found that six months later, 63% of them still complained of fatigue, 26% of difficulty sleeping and 23% of depression or anxiety. This post-Covid syndrome also affects previously healthy people who have not suffered from a severe form of the disease. Both charts were prepared by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS). Coronavirus Infection Survey, 26 April 2020 to 6 March 2021. Fatigue most common Covid-19 symptom after five weeks 1. It should be noted however, that the relatively low percentage of Estimated five-week prevalence of symptoms Long Covid among those over 70 is due to the higher mortality in this age group, which consequently lowers the percentage. 2. Other statistics give shortness of breath as one of the most common symptoms, just after fatigue. However, overall, all the studies point in the same direction. The consequences of the disease are not only physical: a British study from the University of Oxford involving 62,000 people with Covid-19 (4), shows that 20% of patients displayed psychiatric disorders within 90 days following infection: problems adapting, anxiety, insomnia, post- traumatic stress, depression, and even dementia in These results emerge most notably from the some rare cases. follow-up carried out since March 2020 by the Another study – the largest to date with 236,000 Geneva University Hospitals (3) studying 700 patients – reviewing the mental assessment of people, 25% of whom were health professionals. former Covid-19 patients, indicated that one in The average age was 43 years and nearly 70% three people who have overcome the disease have displayed no underlying health problems.

  • Update from Stop Bengeo Quarry
    SBQ June 2019 Update Leaflet_Final 07/06/2019 09:42 Page 1 UPDATE FROM STOP BENGEO QUARRY Bengeo Quarry stopped – thank you! On 4 April 2019 the Secretary of State confirmed that he agreed with the Planning Inspector’s recommendations and refused planning permission to quarry in Bengeo Field. Thanks to the help and support of the local community and the case put forward by the Stop Bengeo Quarry Group, the field can retain its natural landform and continue to be used as an amenity for generations to come. Your contributions to our campaign, whether through posters in windows, letters of objection, donations, or supporting us on Facebook made a real difference. Many of the points put by the Stop Bengeo Quarry group such as the need to protect our water supply, the uniqueness of the landform of Bengeo Field and its value to the local community as a piece of unspoiled agricultural land, were recognised by the inspector and mentioned in the report. With your support, we were able to bring in expert witnesses on air and water pollution. The lead taken by SBQ on the issue of pollution was a crucial factor in stopping the quarry. The main grounds for refusal were: the impact on landscape, hydrology, the impact on living conditions and amenity, and loss of agricultural land. We have stopped both the 1.75 and 1.25 million tonnes scheme! Thanks a million for your help. What next? The Rickneys quarry extension application (with the potential backdoor access to Bengeo Field) is currently on hold. We are clarifying with the HCC planning officers when this application will be considered by the Hertfordshire County Council Development Control Committee.
