Katya Adler hears from Dame Louise Casey who, as “Homelesssness Tsar”, championed the “Everyone In” policy which got rough sleepers off the street and into temporary accommodation during the height of the pandemic and Petra Salva, the head of the Rough Sleepers Unit at the charity St. Mungos.

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Women and Long Covid‘I’ve been very, very fortunate but the fatigue, the brain fog and now the insomnia is terrible’ Gillian on her ongoing symptoms of Long Covid: I was so looking forward to this programme and the first sentence out was that women have long covid more than men. This is not true. Please please please, us with long covid are battling misinformation left, right and centre. I was so hoping that woman's hour would do better. Almost killed me at 46, my 3 year old son and my husband. Long Covid case here. Slow road to recovery.... 👍 Please draw attention to the fact that long COVID is similar to M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis) which affects more women than men too, occurs after bacterial or viral infections, and is significantly underfunded and under researched compared to this new post viral illness.
