I’ve heard from numerous people recently about how they were removed from NHS waiting lists without their knowledge due to a “failure to reply” to a letter from a hospital asking them to confirm they still wanted to be seen. In all cases, they say they never received the letter.

Weird Soup (it's an inside joke involving chowder)
@DrTedros @WHO Listen, something with a 30% mortality rate and an R of 2 that is airborne is absolutely a risk to the public. Please don't repeat the same mistake as COVID. Stop focusing on perception management and focus on disease management this time, please. Control the disease first.

@awgaffney I’d by happy to discuss this publicly because you are incorrect and I suspect have not been keeping up with the research. If you had you might be aware that there maybe upto 400 million globally with long covid now (based on WHO estimates and cited in Nature) and recently 1/

Hey UK government, I get the impression that you don't listen or actually care about us, but when eligible people don't take up the nuvoxavid doses in the spring covid boosters, can you make them available for people who actually want them? Rather than just chucking them in the effing bin? @wesstreeting @UKLabour @UKHSA

I’m amazed. It’s really true: the BA.3.2 COVID lineage is infecting children at a much higher rate than previous lineages. I’m late to this party, but I couldn’t really believe it was true until I did the analysis for myself. 1/

2 things of note-as reported: 1. 'The Physician Associate was supervising a Physician Associate Apprenticeship clinic' 2. 'Since Miss Sellars' death there have been changes at the surgery to the type of patients seen by physician associates' Read those 2 lines again. An untrained person supervising an even more untrained person. And a death needed to change practice. @wesstreeting there was this thing called @lengreview What is happening to safety in this country regards health? @drruthannharpur @DOckendenLtd @catherineroyuk stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-…

So it's clear that BA.3.2 preferentially infects children, something we have never seen before in a SARS-CoV-2 variant. Why? The question's baffled me, but after a suggestion from Darren Martin, I think I have an explanation that makes sense. 1/16
Ryan Hisner@LongDesertTrain

There's not much BA.3.2 in the US yet, but the numbers are still pretty striking. Ages 0-18 are more than 5 times as common in BA.3.2 sequences as in non-BA.3.2 sequences. USA, 2026, Feb 1 to present (Mar 23), non-travel non-BA.3.2, 139/1172 (11.9%) BA.3.2 26/41 (63.4%)

Quick elaboration on this. The disproportionate rate at which BA.3.2 infects children is not driven by infants. The 0-1 age group is less overrepresented (by a large margin) than the 2-5 and 6-17 age groups in the countries we have data for. 1/

Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗
Clinically Vulnerable people rely on essential treatments, devices and medical care and therefore face increased risks in civil emergencies - yet they are invisible in law. CVF💙💜💗 is calling for that to change with a new protected group under the Equality Act.

Markets may be “overly optimistic” about the impact of the Iran conflict, says @Lagarde. She tells @zannymb that a return to normality could take years. Watch the full interview on The Insider at 6pm London time: econ.st/3NrrAIr

I’ll also add that not all disabled/immunocompromised ppl have access to the information that covid is dangerous for them or the covid/other infx diseases are airborne. There are POLITICAL reasons the medical industry chooses to downplay airborne disease control (1/)
covid is oncogenic@chaitrovert

some of the anti-mask aid worker talking pts rhyme with "i take care of my loved one w/ cancer & they don't ask me to protect them so i don't have to mask". just more putting it onto vulnerable ppl who DEPEND ON YOU for other essential support to ask you to be more uncomfortable

On Meningitis-B outbreak in Kent: UKHSA sequencing classed this Men-B as ST-485, part of clonal complex cc41/44. 41/44 is in fact one of the well-known "hyperinvasive" clones of Neisseria meningitidis. i.e. has additional virulence factors making invasive illness more likely.

MENINGITIS B TRANSMISSION There’s been a lot of discussion online and in the media about how exactly Meningitis B spreads. A lot of it is conflicting & confusing. So let’s put opinions & hearsay aside and take a proper look at what the latest science actually tells us… 🧵

@Oldboatie @_CatintheHat @sammons_pamela They cost money. And ventilation costs money. If you tell people they need to wash their hands it's their problem. If you admit transmission is airborne it suddenly becomes expensive

Nightclub owner at centre of meningitis outbreak says “something isn’t making sense” - as TWO staff in hospital. “There's been a lot of talk about how hard it is to transmit… …but actually, it was transmitted a LOT more easily, by the looks of it, than they're suggesting” 🧵

I still keep seeing people say "Covid can't have caused this" and at first I think they mean "Ongoing covid infections can't have caused this" but what they actually mean is "having to stay at home for ten weeks six years ago can't have caused this".
