For them to admit Covid is now airborne would be to admit past mistakes and liability. Instead they would rather perpetuate the lie, condemning healthcare workers and patients to avoidable death and ill-health. @WHO @TheBMA @H_S_E @DHSCgovuk @ProfEmer @SafeDavid3 @davidnabarro
Government must start to invest in clean air. To allow the mitigated spread of Covid is unsustainable.
Airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is an important route of infection. Respiratory protective equipment needed. FRSM is NOT RPE. smw.ch/article/doi/sm…
I encourage leaders to lead with honesty and integrity. Admit past mistakes. IPC guidance needs to change to reflect the airborne transmission of SARSCoV-2. It is never too late to do the right thing. #COVIDisAirborne #FFP3 #RPE #HEPA

A short thread on:

🦠 Covid transmission
😷 How best to protect yourself
💉 Vaccine limitations
⚠️ Warning on infection harms

🧵
(A) Covid is airborne 🦠 This means, infectious particles are carried in the air we breathe.

Please take time to watch the short (1 min) video below 👇🏼
(B) Although hand washing helps spread infection and is a good thing to do, it does not clean the air.

Given #COVIDisAirborne, the best way to protect yourself from (re)infection is to wear a good-fitting, high-grade #FFP2, or preferably #FFP3, mask 😷

LIES!!

The European Court of Human Rights has **absolutely nothing** to do with borders, or whether we remain or exit Europe.

These are protections written in law which protect us all.

Never - I repeat never - let them take them away from you. 🧵 #HumanRights #dictatorship
To everyone in the UK, please tell me which one of these **legal protections** you would not like to apply to you? Image
This is how dictatorships start.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a Brexiter or Remainer, the European Court of Human Rights have absolutely nothing to do borders, or whether we remain or exit Europe.

1/ “The idea that these men, and now women, have suddenly discovered a taste for decency and respect for democracy, a reverence for integrity, is absolutely outrageous. 🧵
2/ To have sat there silently well he rode roughshod over our most valued conventions, traditions, and standards, while he once again thought it was churlish of us to expect him to abide by the network of obligation that binds us all, is absolutely breathtaking in its audacity.
3/ How bloody dare they! How dare they talk today about the importance of honesty; the relevance of integrity; the necessity of decency.

1/ Thank you, professor Jack Lambert, for increasing awareness of #LongCovid BRAIN damage 🧠; the need for an educational campaign for doctors, employers and businesses; and the desperate need for service renovation. @thejournal_ie 🧵 thejournal.ie/hospital-consu…
2/ He said “So many patients have been told there’s nothing wrong with them and just to exercise more,”

And theres a belief amongst the medical and general community that “…these patients are making up their illness, if they just try harder and be mindful they’ll get better.”
3/ “But the reality is most of the patients I took care of are health care workers who never missed a day of work in their life…They worked long shifts & here they are coming down with Covid from an infection they caught in the hospital.”

1/ Last week, UK government announced support for healthcare workers absent with Long Covid will end

Workers who risked their life to care for the nation now face ill-health, loss of career & financial destitution

@shaun_qureshi & I write for @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2/ 100k in debt, and a decade of study later, I qualified as a doctor in spring 2020.

To help my colleagues at a time of national crisis, I volunteered to start work early at the beginning of the pandemic.
3/ I contracted Covid in November 2020 after being deployed to a COVID ward.

Inadequacies in PPE left me exposed to a known deadly airborne virus.

Even today, failures in PPE policy continue daily to put the lives and health of UK healthcare workers at unnecessary risk.
