Dear @UKHSA @educationgovuk

Wondering whether the below guidance for those at ‘increased risk’ is being taken into account systemically in schools?

A screenshot of just some of the information from the NHS webpage ‘How to avoid catching and spreading COVID-19’ under the subheading ‘If you're at increased risk from COVID-19’?  Webpage link: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/covid-19/how-to-avoid-catching-and-spreading-covid-19/ What if the person at ‘increased risk’ is too young to advocate for themselves?

What is being done to support them?

🧵I thought I would share again, in this new thread, some video snippets and excerpts from Professor Anthony Costello's evidence for Module 2 of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

16 October 2023.

Dear @UKHSA,

Just checking that I am reading these statements correctly. Are you saying that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne and is transmitted by both droplets and aerosols?

Very urgent public health messaging and protections are needed.
