@danielgoyal @SGriffin_Lab Could we start with: a) not pretending covid gone away b) reinstating free lateral flow tests c) making sure private LF tests can be registered as official cases. d) rei-nstating mandatory 5 day isolation for everyone including kids e) isolation support for those who need it.

@DrSdeG Not sure how many under 50s have had flu jabs as messaging about need to have one poor. Suspect most is Covid-19. And if we had access to free PCR tests for every 2 negative lateral flow 1 would be positive on PCR.

@Natasha_KC1 The 2 in 6 weeks is extremely likely to be the same infection. If unwell symptomatic again within that time it's more likely to be a post Covid reaction and or Long Covid, seek medical advice if in doubt.

We often don't talk enough about fiction for 6 to 8 years. When my daughter was year 2. Despite being an excellent writter she had trouble finding books she wanted to read. Books like these would have really helped (mostweren't published then!) @_Reading_Rocks_ @OpenUni_RfP

@Kit_Yates_Maths There's a misunderstanding of being sick here. If your off sick from a job you love. Then your not well enough to do said job. Asking someone to 'return' suggests that person's recovered and just can't be bothered to get a job. This is extreme gaslighting (even for Tories).

@MrsCarrPRUHead Far more likely the result of multiple Covid infections affecting children. Also if more parents are stressed about their jobs and keeping a roof over their heads that will be a factor too. But possible extra screen time at home is a factor.

@dgurdasani1 Deepeti I do think this 12 week gap post infection will have made a very significant difference in uptake of 2nd dose. Some teens only got first dose in early Jan because had to wait 12 weeks + post infection. Many just missed their second dose be sure got Covid in Jan 22.

@DMinghella @MishalHusain @nadhimzahawi Dominic theres another reason why it matters. Because if you don't control infections in school then every child's education is disrupted. This terms disruption is going to make last term look like warm up act. The price of adults having their 'freedom' is at the cost of kids.

@CarolineLea13 French medical advice when I had Covid in March 2020 was be cautious about ibroufen. And to limit time (especially during day) that you lie on your back. Lie on your front, or snooze sitting up, walk around if can.

Order any 4 for £25 (+ bonus free mystery book). Some new Jan, Feb and couple March titles. Also a few other titles would love more people to know about. If you have purchased from #ReadersthatCare in Jan you can also add 2 for £12.50 (please DM).

@EnemyInAState Were entering the land of the unknown. Lots people didn't do PCR tests that were affected in Jan (so less tests to detect variant) and even less are doing PCR tests now. So basically we don't know what's happening. Except we do know that Covid is spreading rapidly.

Alot can happen in 7 years. 7 years ago I read lots picture books to my kids. But I didn't read novels (adult or children's). When my daughter started chapters she couldn't find books she wanted to read. So began my journey as s reader of middle grade fiction @_Reading_Rocks_

@HelenRushby1 @jwerb @LCWF_TBK Do they have an oximeter? Ger one if not. Anything under 95 per cent needs medical advice.

@EDR_man Government should start funding universities and students properly. This isn't as big a problem in some other European governments because their governments pay the cost of tuition for all their students. In UK we should also Cap vice-chancellors salary.

@dgurdasani1 Never going to forgive them for latest surge in 10 to 15 year olds. Totally preventable with very simple public health measures that would not have hindered their education or had negative impact on economy. In national crisis and government basing decisions on Ideology!
