Well done Jeremy Corbett for drawing attention to the thousands of people in New Zealand who are suffering in 'silence' symptoms that just won't go away. That was a great wee story about the lovely young lady who had COVID-19 in March since returning home from London and whose symptoms persist. Jeremy's comment at the stories conclusion did not detract from the intended issue but was just so poignant for so many other Kiwis. I am an advocate for the 4000 people in our country who have the chronic, progressive, incurable disease that is Multiple Sclerosis. I received my diagnosis 8 years ago at age 55. We are not forgotten by science - drugs and treatments do exist that can assist people to live their best lives. But we are largely forgotten by our health system planners and funders and politicians. Most particularly we are forgotten by PHARMAC.
