'Daughter of a Jewish refugee, who came to the UK from Hungary in the 1930s, has delivered a letter to @GaryLineker's home – thanking him for his stance on immigration policy.'

Absolutely!

In October 1939, Poland’s western territories were incorporated into the 3rd Reich. Oświęcim, with neighbouring settlements, became part of Bielsko District in the Katowice Division of the Silesia Province. Some of my family here imprisoned in Auschwitz.

Government 'pausing' @ONS #Covid Infection Survey – regarded globally as 'THE GOLD STANDARD' for surveillance of the virus.
WHY? #CovidIsNotOver, and this reputable source, independently, and objectively, 'speaks truth to power'.
Perhaps that's the issue?

'Purified Air were tasked to incorporate filtration solutions into the existing #HVAC system of the Houses of Parliament to improve the indoor air quality of the building'.
HT:
purifiedair.com/case-studies/t…
Purified Air 'achieved this by installing Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) within the existing Air Handling Units. ESPs vastly improved upon indoor air quality, ensuring that airborne viruses and bacteria were kept to an absolute minimum within the space'.purifiedair.com/about-us/
HM Government does NOT seem to underestimate the threat #Covid poses - at least the incorporation of 'virus control air filtration solutions' in certain locations, appears to indicate an awareness of the science, and some common sense.

With worsening Emergency Department and ambulance waits, NHS England reported 'to have called on trusts to speed up the discharge of patients, with more than 10,000 patients who should be discharged stuck in hospital each day.' @Rebeccasmt @Independent

'Hospitals across the country have begun using a model in which patients are being moved out of A&E every 2 hours regardless of the amount of space available on trust wards'.

'Fears have been raised that this model will result in patients being crowded into wards, or the 'boarding' of patients, which means that patients are not being placed in the correct type of ward'.

Analysis @HealthFdn, 'suggests that poor health is the driving factor for increases in inactivity among older age groups since the start of the pandemic, following a pre-pandemic trend'.

Meanwhile, @DarjaReuschke @unisouthampton and Donald Houston @portsmouthuni,
'Govts face twin challenges to public health & labour supply arising from activity-limiting #LongCOVID, the incidence of which is likely to continue rising for some time to come.'
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Recommended background: 'Medical research on #LongCOVID is rapidly growing although the mid-term and long-term effects of 'the illness' are yet to be fully understood. Equally poorly understood is the impact of Long COVID on employment prospects.' @DarjaReuschke & Donald Houston
