Well-known, famous people with Covid-19 and Long Covid

Krein Bons is stepping down as CEO of jewellery chain Lucardi due to health reasons. The Dutch chain has started looking for a successor for the former vanHaren CEO and Deichmann director, while other board members will temporarily take over his tasks.

Long covid
Bons only started as CEO at Lucardi in February this year, but now has to resign his position due to health reasons. He is said to be struggling with the effects of long covid, RetailTrends reports, but the CEO will remain involved with Lucardi as an advisor.

The jewellery retailer, which has nearly 140 shops and 1,100 employees, is implementing a new shop concept, opened pilot shops in Belgium and Germany and launched a new webshop just today.

Bons was CEO at vanHaren for 26 years and brought the shoe chain to Belgium. In May 2022, he announced his departure from the company to take things a little easier. He is also chairman of trade association InRetail.

Dianna Cowern aka Physics Girl's Instagram



"In one week Dianna is live-streaming a full day of her life to share what the experience is like for someone suffering from chronic fatigue. Dianna and Kyle are raising money to support research and clinical trials for long COVID.

The live stream will take place Saturday, July 6th 2024, from 6:45 AM(PT) to 6:00 PM(PT).

The live stream will consists of seeing Dianna, and what she does every day as a person with long COVID, interspersed with QnA's for the audience to ask anything they want, and a series of interviews with experts in the industry helping us all better understand the disease.

We hope you join and help us raise awareness for those suffering from this disease."

 

awesome initiative but comon “chronic fatigue”….

 

The description seems to have changed for much the better

 

She's almost certainly not writing any of this herself. Almost all her tweets are written by her husband. I'd assume he would be pretty familiar with terminology by now, but maybe it's someone else from her team that did this one.

 

I personally don't know who she is. Perhaps a t.v 'reality star' or broadcaster in the U.K?

'They think it's glandular fever, an big infection & an abscess in my throat. I didn't allow myself any recovery time after covid & it's just compromised my immune system I suppose- I haven't allowed myself any downtime this year,'

' have burn the candle at both ends, worked a punishing schedule & ignored all signs that my body was desperate for a break; feeling drained, overwhelmed, can't sleep at night for anxiety exhausted in the morning, loss of appetite, not prioritising my exercise- I haven't done anything since the half marathon in April which is so unlike me'.

" It may be that there is a large psychological component in some patients. But to winged off before you have examined, must not be." this sentence says it all others could be safely thrown in the psych bin but not me . privileged behaviour indeed .

 

The newspaper article is from February this year and was written in an early phase of her Longcovid. Her Instagram account is very symphatic, unfortunately not many followers yet, as she was on Twitter before her illness.

Yeah honestly I don’t think we can blame people for half-believing BPS stuff at first. It’s really hard not to get bombarded with it when you first learn about the illnrss sadly. Thoigh to be fair she is a doctor so we should have higher (or maybe actually lower?) expectations.
