NHS staff with long Covid are now losing their jobs in droves. Beware-on applying for industrial illness benefits, if asked if you filled your car with fuel, the application goes no further as you might have caught Covid from touching the fuel pump handle

5) More on under reporting, this time citing wastewater testing. "If we look at wastewater estimates, the actual circulation [of SARS-CoV-2] is somewhere between 2 and 20 times higher than what’s actually being reported by countries." 2 and 20 is a big range. Oh Maria. 6/24

9) Addressing non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). "...using masks for respiratory pathogens that transmit through the air is a no-brainer... plus improving ventilation." Ahem, use RESPIRATORS for respiratory pathogens. "Transmit through the air" - AIRBORNE AEROSOLS. 10/24

He was one of the very, very few who responded well to the information. At that point in time, his kid caught it once and his wife, the same. He managed to avoid it, somehow. He asked all the right questions re. air purifiers, ventilation guidance and LC issues. 2/9

A few months later we checked in on each other. He shared that he's developed a protracted sinus issue that's really affecting his sleep. A terrible hacking cough as well. He sounded tired and defeated. Next thing he said was, "Life has to go on, can't dwell on it, right?" 6/9

I was really glad because he installed informed mitigations in his home to protect himself and his family. But about 2 months later, he tested positive. He mentioned that it was after he met his friends for a meal. 4/9

I didn't probe further because it felt like I failed him. It felt like I could have reinforced certain information regarding dining. But I was also cognisant of how much I could advise, and the rest was up to him. I encouraged radical rest & the relevant post infection tips. 5/9

It was great because I got to delve deeper into some of the information I provided him, because he was looking for solutions specific to his home and location. Somebody is listening! We had good to and fros checking up on local guidance and questioned outdated policies. 3/9

Drumpf admitted that he downplayed it intentionally! And he "liked" downplaying it. Honestly, read this f*cking article. It's literally staring us in the face. They KNEW it was airborne from the get go. They KNEW it was really serious. Wake. The. Hell. Up. End

SARS-CoV-2 hitting us could & should have been an awakening, make us recognise our strengths and come together. A good rehearsal, of sorts, for the potential Avian Flu Pandemic. It could have been, "Oh, we've done this before, we know what to do now and even better!" 1/2

My apologies for the 24 part thread. I couldn't help but pick at the points. It is a useful enough article. A weary message to the masses to pay attention. It's Year 5. We need stronger voices from strong leaders. No ifs, no buts. #WearARespi #WearARespie #WearYourRespi End/

If you read this whole thread and STILL WON'T wear a respirator to protect people around you, you're devoid of any empathy nor humanity.

This is my son Eddie a few months before he was diagnosed with cancer. We used masks/testing/ventilation to keep him free of respiratory illness during this journey, which improved both the quality and quantity of time we had with him. A thread…

9) NPIs continued. Gotta rant. Say the words, MVK. Use "Respirators" or as @NeoOdist and @ToshiAkima have made it easier for you – Respis. Use the words "Airborne" and "Aerosol", don't be shy, I'm agreeing with you, it's a no-brainer. 11/24
