Sofia has never tested positive for Covid but since October she has suffered from what experts describe as 'Covid Toes' The 13-year-old is barely able to walk or wear shoes due to the painful condition

Podiatrist Martin McCafferty has seen a handful of examples in his clinic in East Dunbartonshire.

"We're most commonly seeing this in younger patients who don't tend to show any other signs of the virus - people who would test negative for Covid-19," he said. "Another is that these patients release interferon which means they will rapidly clear the virus before any real immunity is built up - leaving these chilblain type legions."Sofia's case is a severe one, with symptoms clearing up for most people within a couple of days or weeks. Nine months on, her family don't feel any further forward.

Keeping up with the latest literature is Debbie Wilson, a podiatry lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University and a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow

This CoronaVirus has created so many strange symptoms to many people. I hear different stories here and there.

Covid toes? You talking the piss what scientists come up with shit 🤣🤦🏻 what’s more worrying people actually believe this. I got flu toes since I caught flu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seems a bit like the MH issues; never had covid but symptoms of covid. Affected by covid; even related to covid but not covid. Usual bandwagon? Sympathy vote.

Seriously 'Covid Toes', you're really scrapping the bottom of the barrel looking for shit to blame on Covid.

FFS. We will be blaming everything on flaming covid soon. I'm on the beer tonight, although tomorrow I'm pretty sure it will be diagnosed as a covid hangover. 🤣

I’ve got Covid eyes reading all the Covid stuff day in day out….

Seriously making up any ailment now and attach it to covid.

Wtaf? 'Never tested positive' but we're going to insinuate she has Covid anyway, and this is what passes for journalism is it?

Why report to the BBC and not Public Health Scotland?

It cannot be due to COVID19 basing on her negative test results.

Pressure builds on ministers to reach a decision on Covid vaccines for childrenSage scientist warns current wave risks being longest yet, with ‘eye-watering’ hospitalisations and deaths possible Do 'sage scientists' hate the public and freedom, or they just engaging in market manipulation? Wow shocking article from the guardian. You will literally have kids adverse reactions on your hands . The efficacy is reversed below a certain age, and there appears more risk than reward for the well population below 30 in being vaccinated.
