We would not ask a builder to remove his hard hat. A reminder that wearing the correct PPE at work is a legal requirement, not an optional one. #COVIDisAirborne this requires workers are provided with RPE, including #FFP3. FRSM & droplet PPE are inadequate. @UKHSA

Long term measures need to be put in place to reduce transmission & make air safe. Time to install air filtration systems in public buildings, starting with schools & hospitals. Time to invest in #CleanAir @CleanAirClassrm @FreshAir_4_NHS @sajidjavid @nadhimzahawi @Keir_Starmer

🚨 Can anyone who lives local to Southcote Road, BOSCOMBE, Bournemouth, check on the welfare of these dogs? Update below. @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @domdyer70
This morning I have contacted Dorset Police and the RSPCA.
@Dorsetpolice confirmed the incident had been reported to them, but because I am not the dog owner or the car owner, they said they cannot give me any details of the case.

New preprint:

Long COVID is associated with extensive in-vivo neuroinflammation on [18F]DPA-714 PET

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
A significant number of COVID-19 patients develop ‘long COVID’, a condition defined by long-lasting debilitating, often neurological, symptoms.
Post-mortem histopathological studies have shown extensive inflammatory responses in organs of patients with acute COVID-19, including the brain. Postmortem studies reveal diffuse microglia activation predominantly in the olfactory bulbs, medulla oblongata, brainstem & cerebellum

1/ According to latest ONS figures, 2M people in the UK now have Long Covid. Between 50-70% meet diagnostic criteria for #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis, a serious condition notoriously neglected & misunderstood by medical professionals.

Medics, read on for important information 🧵
2/ Thank you @AnilvanderZee for making this video. I want medics watching to understand that although Anil looks in good health, I can assure he is not. The exertion used to make this video will have triggered a ‘crash’
3/ I have experienced this for myself. Prior to covid I was a fit and healthy 35yr old, no comorbidities, regularly working 12hr+ shifts all day on my feet.

1/ I tweeted earlier that wearing a mask is a sign of intelligence. This gentleman is not so sure. I thought others may feel the same, so let me tell you why I think this. This is esp pertinent to those who’ve had a mild-short lived illness & think #SARSCoV2 is nothing to fear.🧵
2/ Reason 1: Public health messaging fails to warn on the dangers of #LongCovid which can follow on from an asymptomatic or mild infection. Long covid steals your health, life and independence, and is currently absent of treatment or cure. This is what Long covid can look like:
3/ Just because you’ve had a mild-short lived infection the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time - do not count your chickens.

Do not assume the next time will be the same. Every time you get infected you roll the dice.

1/ Captain Daniel Chertow (MD, MPH Head, Emerging pathogens Sections, Clinical Centre, NIAID, NIH) presents results from a series of 44 autopsies showing evidence of SARS CoV-2 infection and persistence through the human body and brain.
videocast.nih.gov/watch=45296?jw…
2/ All autopsies were performed & samples collected within 24 hours of death.

“SARS CoV-2 can replicate within tissue for over 3 months after infection in some individuals, with RNA failing to clear from multiple compartments for up to 230 days.”
3/ He says they found indirect evidence of replication competent virus in the brain.

1/ Important thread.

Why UK government failure to acknowledge & invest in #LongCovid will have irreparable health & economic consequences. 🧵

@Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @LSHTM @markjit @AnnaVassall
2/ In April 2021, #LongCovidKids hand delivered letters to Prime Minister, @BorisJohnson, requesting investment & treatment for #LongCovid.
3/ Yesterday, #LongCovidKids received this shameful #gaslighting response.
