A Valentine’s public health message you never knew you needed.

🎵Covid’s in the air,
It’s everywhere, it’s all around.
Lurking in the air,
Out of sight until you drown.

@1goodtern @scott_squires @YouAreLobbyLud

Apologies to John Paul Young
🎵Covid’s in the air,
It’s everywhere it’s all around.
Lurking in the air,
Out of sight until you drown.

I didn’t know human beings were so foolish,
A slow public health demise.
But there’s something we could be achieving,
So you can look into your children’s eyes.
🎵We can clean the air,
We can clean the air,
Right now, please.

(Text flashes up in final bars)
[Roses are red,
Covid toes are blue.
Clean the air,
Unless you’re disposable too.]
Video description:
I’m sat playing a keyboard and singing in a black jumper. Various images and news articles flash up as I sing which I will post and continue the thread.
If you liked this parody, and in the doghouse with a loved one, or want to treat yourself, perhaps you’d like to purchase my book written with @MikeCashman1

It’s on sale!

Look how quickly measles has been normalised into a common winter virus. A disease eliminated in the UK 2016/17.

In the What to Do section, not even an instruction to isolate.

Tellingly SARS-CoV-2 absent from the entire article.

SNEEZY DOES IT! From measles to colds, seven common winter illnesses and what you need to do when they strike And the easy ways you can stop the spread of 'pink eye' Jane Atkinson Published: 21:03, 3 Feb 2024Updated: 21:04, 3 Feb 2024 Screenshot of the article with a woman dabbing her nose in winter clothing, in main picture, i with an older woman clutching her heart, a man sneezing into his elbow, and a woman and child with the women dabbing the child’s bare chest.
MEASLES: Like any virus, measles tends to rear its head in the winter months — and this year it has been particularly severe in the UK. Birmingham Children’s hospital said this week it has been inundated with cases treating the highest number of children in decades and at least 50 in the last month. A picture of a woman and child with the woman dabbing cotton pages on ointment onto the child.
Interesting how headlines pivot This was Nov 2023 and then end of Jan 2024.

At least they previously mentioned both deadly and most infectious.

With a mention of 21 days isolation for kids unvaccinated who come into contact with a case.
Sun headline various cartoon drawings of measles symptoms, including spotted rash on cheat, runny nose, child rubbing eye, pink eye, thermometer for temperature, inflamed throat Viral load, the little known symptoms of deadly measles you might spot in your child and 5 other red flag signs. If your little one has the bf you might notice a range of changes to their eyes form pink eye to pain Published 2 Nov 2023
Another sun screenshot Measels cases surge Picture of a child scratching spots on their face, a health cate worker examining a boy with hands on his throat. A measles vaccine vial, and a woman in red. Viral spread Measels timeliness revealed, all symptoms of 'world's most infectious disease' and how to protect your kids The different stages of a measels infection and how your child might still be at risk.
The common winter illness list in full:
Asthma
Measles
Cold Sores
Psoriasis
Coughs and Colds (no mention of Covid or flu)
Conjunctivitis
And…
Heart attacks.
Just one of those pesky winter heart attacks. Screen shot of The Sun article with a woman eyes closed clutching her chest outside, not wrapped up in winter clothes. Text: It’s important to get rid of mucus in the upper respiratory tract as otherwise it could travel to the lungs and cause an infection. HEART ATTACKS: Research funded by the British Heart Foundation suggests heart attacks and strokes are twice as likely during a cold snap lasting four days or longer. The risk is even greater if the temperature falls below 12C. Heart attacks are twice as likely during a cold snap 4 Heart attacks are twice as likely during a cold snapCr...

Brilliant thread.
An example of 'special pleading fallacy' in cars.

Great idea comparing breathing cigarette smoke & car fumes, now do the same with an airborne virus.

"Covid Brain"
The cultural (ethical?) blind spot that makes people apply double standards when they think about Covid.

Covinormativity: How social norms hide a major public health hazard.

Read the thread ⬆️ & you can't help but see the same glaring inconsistencies with Covid
Interestingly only Q2 adhering to health & safety rules in comparison with a chef & 🚚 that the special pleading fallacy was absent & the majority disagreed with bending rules

This enrages me that keeping business 'profitable' at the expense of health has happened so seamlessly Two graphs The first statement. It's okay for a delivery driver to bend a few health and safety rules in order to keep their business profitable. 2% strongly agree 7% agree 12 % neither 34% disagree 45% strongly disagree Statement 2 It's okay for a chef to bend a few health and safety rules in order to keep their business profitable. 2% strongly agree 5% agree 10% neither 30% disagree 52% strongly disagree

🎵Sometimes,
When you’re rich there’s clean air that you breathe…

If some of the wealthiest enjoy protective measures at Davos, UK Houses of Parliament etc.Why can’t the rest of us?

🎵Sometimes, (most times)
When you’re rich there’s clean air that you breathe,
Just look above you,
(Mild interventions)
HEPA [filters], masks, PCRs, and UV.
But they’re not for you.
(You can afford a re-infection)
🎵 ‘Cause you don’t need clean air when you breathe…
(Deep breaths)
Breathe…
(‘Cause you’re not worth it).

Apologies to The Hollies.

Nearly 3 years to the day speaking to @brownecfm he said 'It's gone' there was no stopping Covid, life as we know it will change. His predictions have been startling accurate & I'm not sure what I would have done without his wisdom & knowledge. Vote below socmedawards.com/2023/awards-ca…
If he has helped you from the start or if you've only recently discovered his insights. We need more experts who speak so articulately but also generously with always the aim to help others, see below:

Don't thank me for the music of Tory sinning.
Apologies to @ABBA

🎵 Gimme, gimme, gimme a party at midnight

Again the news gets eaten up by party gate but for every regret at keeping to the rules remember:

We made a difference.
#BorisJohnsonMustGo
#BorisJohnsonOut
#abbaparty
Gimme, gimme, gimme a party at midnight,
Won't somebody help me send Dom Cummings away.

Money, Money, Money,
Rules are funny,
('cause you break them)
In a rich man's world.

Wine or tequila?*
Let's do shots again.
My, my,
Booze we can't resist you.

*sounds more like why not
We were all drunk in quarantine, Party scene,
Only seventeen, oh yeah,
(Parties. Seventeen parties? Sixteen parties? Are you keeping up?)
