I am 💯 behind Doctors but please stop listening to the Tories on #COVID #COVIDisAirborne #N95 #Ventilate No infection should be thought of as mild there are long term risks and vulnerable patients deserve protection from HAI. They should not be on the same ward it’s Airborne.

Please watch this recent video from Dr Fauci
It’s entirely the fault of poor health guidance but that doesn’t mean we should follow these nitwits.

The government and Army have #Airfilters yet Doctors and nurses have had inadequate PPE. Now thousands of nurses have long covid. Wear a N95 ignore the **** guidance.
dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
So please if you are working in a hospital there are some easy things you can do to help keep everyone safer:

Ventilate the wards- even opening a window for 10 mins per hr ( according to Whitehouse report) reduces transmission X 5.

Wear an N95 with head straps
Please test ‘59% of infections can come from asymptomatic transmission’ jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

COVID myth no. 1

Covid has gone away - no the government has just taken down the data. There are over 700 deaths a week at the moment.

Myth no. 2

I haven’t caught COVID. Given that prevalence is so consistently high. My own area has rarely gone above 1 in 50, it’s much …
more likely that you have had #COVID and possibly several times. Over 40% of people have asymptomatic infections (no symptoms). jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
#COVID myth no. 3

COVID is ‘mild’- there are so many studies now stacking up on the long term risks from catching covid. This is something to avoid.

Hospitals are at breaking point with backlogs of cases and covid infections. There are no signs of the government getting a grip. 43,000 more lives lost due to ambulance waiting times. Average of 120 people a day on top of the 700 plus per week dying of covid. Truly grim figures.
At a time like this simple measures would have meant covid wasn’t a big issue. Making time to help people with the other myriad of problems. Airfilters in Italian schools reduced infections by 82%. That simple measure with testing would be keeping so many safer.
Not just from #Covid but seasonal flu and other airborne viruses.

JCVI have been against covid vaccines the whole way through. #CovidInquiry Children who are cev have lost out on so much time at school, they were locked down for so long and now they are stopping vaccines again. This decision is completely nonsensical. theguardian.com/society/2021/a…

It’s really important that GPs start wearing a mask and giving the message that #COVID isn’t something we should be catching. If you are advising patients to lose weight to reduce long term risks, then you definitely should be advising patients to avoid #COVID
There is now mounting evidence that #COVID causes brain damage and will increase the risk of dementia. Especially when you consider how many infections we are all being exposed to. health.harvard.edu/newsletter_art…
In children there are increased risks of neurological problems and attention difficulties ox.ac.uk/news/2022-08-1…

Populists put so much weight on opinion polls. Decisions on continuing with preventions should never be based on what’s popular. Most people love to eat sweets but it’s not good for us to do that all the time. This is about wearing a mask to avoid infecting someone who will..
become ill and potentially even die due to health conditions. Covid is not a cold, people get blood clots and heart attacks from covid infections.
A mask, testing over someone’s life. Really? One day better vaccines/sprays and clean air will come along. Infections will then be low and we truly will be living with covid in a safer way.

Science has brought us solutions to #COVID infections but our government isn’t using the science. Here are the things the Tories could be doing to prevent infections, instead we are all suffering a constant round of exposure.
The Tories sold off VMIC. This was a flagship vaccine development centre bmj.com/content/376/bm…
They have been giving constant advice on hand washing but failed to informed the Public that Covid is an airborne virus.
