    The Guardian: "Fifth of patients at two north of England surgeries have long Covid, study finds":
    https://www.theguardian.com/society...orth-england-surgeries-long-covid-study-finds

    The report referenced appears to be this one, entitled Navigating the Long Haul: Understanding Long Covid in Northern England, published by Health Equity North and which is part of Newcastle University's "COVID Recovery Analytics" project:

    An ex-nurse is attempting to set a new world record by travelling from John O’Groats to Land's End in 45 days using a standard wheelchair.

    Army veteran Lexi Chambers has fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) - with the latter resulting in her leg being amputated three years ago.

    She has four world records to her name and hopes to add another in her upcoming fundraiser called End 2 End The Rugby Relay.

    "My goal is to inspire by demonstrating that despite adversity, achieving dreams is possible," said Ms Chambers.

    As I understand it The Chronic Collaboration was basically Steve Topple and his partner.

    From MEpedia:
    https://me-pedia.org/wiki/The_Chronic_Collaboration
    The Chronic Collaboration was founded in August 2021 to advocate for improved treatment of chronically ill patients including people with ME/CFS, and against the use of psychologization.[1][2] It was created in response to "the recent refusal of NICE to publish the much awaited ME/CFS guideline" and to protest about this, as well as "the years of medical neglect & mistreatment" patients have experienced.

    Edit to add:
    Not to be confused with Chronic Illness Inclusion, which I notice has a very similar logo.

    Transcript of the spoken message on the tweet:
    Much respect for the effort the people involved in the Chronic Collaboration have put in over the years. However, I do hope that they will think carefully about their documentary. Just because it is a doctor who has said something, that doesn't make it correct. That is of course true for the BPS brigade, but it's also true for others who are offering unevidenced biologically-based theories about ME/CFS as facts. Both sides can harm people with ME/CFS, including by damaging the credibility of people with ME/CFS. As journalists, I hope that the Chronic Collaboration will carefully consider views contrary to the views of people such as Dr Weir and Dr Myhill.

    I fear it will be a jumble of individual doctors' idiosyncratic views, rather than a useful contribution to knowledge about ME/CFS.
