There have been numerous posts on social media from parents aghast at the revolving door of school and nursery acquired illness. Sometimes there’ll be a parent posting who has children with a wide age gap saying it’s worse now. 🧵

I’m not sure how much more evidence is required to finally update infection protection and control guidance, but here’s hoping…

But it wasn’t just the “initial guidance” that was flawed! To this very day, the IPC guidance STILL does not reflect the latest science on AIRBORNE transmission.

⚠️ IPC GUIDANCE Newly-appointed Health Minister @AshleyDalton_MP has just responded to a question from MP @_Chris_Coghlan. Chris asks when the NHS IPC manual will be updated to reflect the latest science on AIRBORNE transmission. Let’s take a closer look at Ashley’s reply…

Each year more and more people enter our world in the shadows. Each year the list of lives we have lost grows longer. Today there will probably be a lot of new faces raising awareness with sort of the same spirit many of us had in the early days.

I’d really like to become a little less aware. I find myself not really having much to say today. #LongCovidAwarenessDay. Six years in, it feels like we’re still having to repeat the same things over and over, with little tangible change in day to day to life for most of us. 🧵

Today, on Long Covid awareness day I’d like to call out the prejudice delivered against long covid kids. My daughter is severely impaired by long Covid. She is attached to tubes 21 hours a day to keep her alive, and has 3x stomas as well as a permanent line into her heart for iv fluids. She has encountered sepsis repeatedly, all manner of acute life threatening secondary issues due to her condition, and is malnourished. She spends much of her time in hospitals. She missed 3+ years of schooling, but this year is attempting to do (with very minimal support from her teacher) Grade 12 English. She zooms into classes from the adult oncology ward she’s housed in. She reschedules treatments around lesson times to try and make them. But, she is acutely unwell and often this is impossible. That she even continues with education is remarkable. But, she loves learning and in spite of all she suffers, she is performing very well. This is the comment from her English teacher. Imagine this being said about a child in these health circumstances with ANY other illness……. #longcovidkids #LongCovidAwareness #longcovid

Thousands upon thousands of studies. Thousands upon thousands of anecdotes. Millions and millions of people with long covid. £billions to economies. Together, it’s like Italy sending alarms early in the pandemic to a shrugging Johnson as the toll keeps climbing.

I had to go to the registry office today to get a death certificate for my Mum. I told them we wanted to wear respirators during the meeting as we are avoiding Covid. They were happy to accommodate us. The lady we met wore an FFP3 (that we provided) throughout. It's not hard. 1/

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya says patients with ME/CFS, long COVID, vaccine injury and chronic Lyme are often gaslit and told their symptoms are psychological, making them feel crazy. He’s told NIH staff he wants to invest in finding real answers for these conditions.

What is the roadblock to clean, indoor air? Why are politicians & PH so allergic to the idea of this? “Measles, flu, COVID-19, norovirus—most infectious diseases spread through the air we breathe. We just accept that everyone gets sick indoors. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.”
Kimberly Prather, Ph.D.@kprather88

1/ If I hear one more public official call indoor air filters a "band-aid," I'm going to explode! It's so logical, yet so readily dismissed. Filtering indoor air should be as standard as filtering water. Full stop. 🧵

120 people a week catch covid in hospitals in Wales. They’re just the ones we know about, the ones they bother to test

Clinically Vulnerable Families want safe environments. To quote @lara_wong from last week: "When it is safe enough for the most vulnerable, it is safe enough for everyone." Sam explains that even bereaved wouldn't adhere to 'restrictions' in another pandemic. 4/

-The Silence After I Said It- Today a member asked me in front of the entire room at my workplace why I no longer teach many exercise classes. She remembered when I taught more. I told them the truth. Covid destroyed my health years ago. I have suffered without end since and just survived heart surgery. The room froze. Could hear a pin drop. These people stared at the athletic woman in her 30s as if my story was the most horrifying thing they had ever heard. Some stared in disbelief as if they refused to accept what I said was true. And others looked like they wished I hadn’t said it at all. The world collectively decided that young, athletic women are not allowed to be permanently altered by Covid. So when one of us says it out loud it feels like the kind of ending the story had no place for. That silence in the room was denial colliding with reality. They didn’t ask anything else.

This ⬇️ is a must-read thread from @1goodtern. The sickness trends are VERY worrying. Importantly: ▪️The charts are for newly-qualified doctors. Aging population is not playing a role. ▪️These are sickness rates per 100k so account for changing numbers of NHS staff over time.

I just want to do a very quick run through the latest up to date charts of rates of sickness absence in *young* doctors here. Yeah. This is still *really* important, and I'll explain why in a moment.

Chronic illness teaches you how to operate at “fine enough.” Not well. Not healthy. Just functional enough to get through the day. From the outside, that often gets mistaken for being okay. And that misunderstanding affects how people respond to us.

If they’re genuinely concerned about missed learning and missed work for parents, why haven’t we got clean air in schools? That would reduce ALL airborne diseases in kids and in the wider community.
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk

Half of children catch chickenpox by age four. When they do, they're often off nursery or school for a week, meaning missed learning and missed work for parents. We're rolling out a free NHS chickenpox vaccine as part of the routine childhood immunisation programme.
