Premier Rockliff, Tazmania, Australia faces difficult questions:

"Did you lead the charge with former New South Wales Premier Dominic peretet to remove five-day isolation knowing it would lead to an increase in infection re-infection disability and death?"

#LivingWithCovid
1/
"Do you think it is responsible to allow the
continued infection & reinfection of
childrn with a novel coronavirus that
is vascular that causes long-term sqlae
brain damage increases in childhood
diabetes & kidney issues along with a
whole range of other compounding
sequally?"
2/
"How can you [.] not confirm that Covid is
airborne [.] & tell people that in order to protect themselves [.] they should wash their hands and take personal responsibility? [.]

There is an area of personal responsibility for all of us it used to be called 'Public Health'."
3/
If the @covidinquiryuk finally gets hold of the necessary evidence, hopefully we can look forward to similar levels of scrutiny over government decision-making.

#WhatAppGate
4/
As things stand, accountability seems a long way off. So for those of us living with risk and consequences of the distinct lack of Public Health, it can't come soon enough.

The #LivingWithCovid policy urgently needs to add some learning.

5/
Well done to @CassyOConnorMP for her fantastic questions at their Covid Inquiry and for having her mask visible.

#MasksInHealthcare😷 is a vital step to make healthcare safe.

Bird 'flu

Public awareness of the risks posed by bird 'flu is seriously lacking it is not sensible to travel whilst infected.

"Pandemic fatigue" had significantly impacted people's attitudes to Covid, and likely to any new pandemic 'flu.

1/ dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
"Learning to live with Covid" by undermining mask use and downplaying Covid's severity will have serious consequences.

If bird flu were to develop human-to-human transmission, it could have devastating consequences due to its high mortality rate.

2/
50% mortality for H5N1 is huge.

Who dies in flu pandemics?

In 1918, mortality was highest in;
👶 u5 yrs
🤵 20-40 yrs
👵 65 yrs+

Obviously, the Clinically Vulnerable (those offered annual 'flu vaccines) have higher risks, too.

"We've got parents with chronic health conditions..." Clancy Clonnal from @SHSorguk.

Who'd have thought that the consequences of constant high Covid infections would fall hardest on those most at risk?

Clinically Vulnerable Families have been struggling @NickMartinSKY.

1/
Unfortunately, time and again, our needs have not been considered.

Clinically Vulnerable people have a 5.4x increased risk of Long Covid and an 8.5x increased risk of death (data from the final ONS Covid survey).

Withdrawing protections from schools has hit us hardest.

Our increased risks, without any protections in place, make our lives more difficult and impact our children - even if they are attending school. It is a barrier to attendance and a barrier to learning.

🏵 THE COVID CYCLE ♻️

As we navigate our way through the post-Covid world, it's important to consider the link between infections and outcomes.

1/🧵

TLDR :
🚫 Try to avoid catching / spreading infections
💨 Clean air will help THE COVID CYCLE   Diagram: ...
While you may well start off healthy, anyone can become Clinically Vulnerable at some point in their life, making them more susceptible to severe infections.

Take it from us, it isn't particularly fun - and frequently, our lives feel less valued.

2/ Diagram :  Healthy person  ...
Covid infections or repeat infections of healthy people can lead to Long Covid*, where people experience prolonged symptoms and conditions including: fatigue, brain fog and respiratory issues.

* Some data suggests that up to 1 in 10 infections result in long-term symptoms.

🚨 Children are a major transmission vector

To be honest, this isn't news to any of us who have been following the data. We know the cases spread through the age groups, starting with the kids and then moving on to older generations.

1/
This goes against the government's narrative of returning to school in 2020. When they claimed that children don't catch or spread the virus.

They even paid social media influencers to encourage children to school, and parents to work, prevaccines.

Following the emergence of vaccines, the reluctance of the JCVI to support the need for children's vaccination in the UK has meant that we have maintained a pool of undervaccinated young people, increasing their risk of @LongCovidKids.

⚠️ #MyMaskMyVote ⚠️

Clinically Vulnerable people (and others wearing masks) will be asked to remove them for the local elections due to new rules on voter ID, potentially putting them at risk.

1/
inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
The Electoral Commission has said people wearing face coverings only need to remove them "momentarily" for ID checks by polling station staff, but we argue that they need to go further to ensure the safety of the Clinically Vulnerable.
