@ZackPolanski Anyone interested in working on this policy area please reach out to @GrnsAgnstCvd. Join link in their Linktree

[GreensAgainstCovid @GrnsAgnstCvd]

@ZackPolanski Yes. Proud to say that it's our party policy. Too many already suffering. Too many still to come because of public health policy that encourages infection.

[Gina 😷 SARS2isAirborne #VoteGreen 💚 @Saffiya_Khan1]

@natalieben Thank you for this @natalieben 👏 👏

With lots of flu around and C O V I D on the increase again, now is the time for @ZackPolanski to take the lead as @TheGreenParty have clean air policies.

Labour were keen to act in Opposition, but have done nothing in Government.

[Dr Rae Duncan @Sunny_Rae1]

@natalieben @Paul_Briley @natalieben well said 👏👏👏and thank you for giving us the opportunity to talk to you last year in HoL about the true and lasting impact of long COVID and how we should be preventing this awful disease and rising UK disability, sickness and economic fallout as a result x

[Natalie Bennett @natalieben]

Good ventilation and air filtration are critical tools in preventing respiratory infections.

The Government must assess current standards in hospitals and schools — and act where they fall short.

[Gina 😷 SARS2isAirborne #VoteGreen 💚 @Saffiya_Khan1]

@ZackPolanski Yes! Thank you Zack.

We also need preventions.

Airborne infection control. We need clean air in schools and hospitals.

This should be our number one priority.

Clean air would reduce all airborne diseases. And prepare us for the next pandemic!

[tern @1goodtern]

@ZackPolanski YES.
Thank you.

Prevention too, because Long Covid isn't a single issue with a single mechanism, it's a massive range of problems caused by COVID INFECTIONS.

Covid infections now, each of which are preventable.

Covid is an airborne disease: We need to clean the air.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

💯

But also covid prevention. There were three waves this year (Spring, Summer, early Autumn)

Every time someone gets infected it weakens their immune system, one of the reasons why flu is so rampant

And boosters for everyone who wants one across all age groups - paediatrician friends in the US vaccinate all age ranges from young kids to the elderly

And mitigations, clean indoor air in schools. Sadiq Khan is rolling it out for London schools, it should be a nationwide initiative

And support for clean air in hospitals, workplaces, hospitality

Vaccinate everyone who wants a booster, covid and flu, clean the air, watch the nation's health improve significantly - less time off, less pressure on NHS, it's win win

@ZackPolanski Thanks for speaking up about this, @ZackPolanski.

Tragically, Darren is not alone.

🚨Over a THIRD of healthcare workers are suffering from Long Covid.

🚨Nearly 1 in 5 doctors with LC have symptoms so severe that they’re no longer able to work.

This is *not* sustainable.

[Stephen Griffin @SGriffin_Lab]

@ZackPolanski Thank you for spreading the word, Zack.
Of course, as we do nothing to mitigate vs acute COVID, people will continue to get sick like Darren.
The @GrnsAgnstCvd and @TheGreenParty policy remains the only example in UK politics...

[nychealthy @nycHealthy]

Flu, COVID-19, and RSV are all currently spreading in NYC. Wearing a mask can help protect you and others from getting sick. Flu, COVID-19, and RSV can spread even if you do not have symptoms.

[Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cv_cev]

A letter just landed on Baroness Hallett’s desk from CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance).

If you are a patient, an NHS worker, or Clinically Vulnerable... or you want to see safety measures updated - you need to see this!

COVID INQUIRY

🚨CATA has issued an open letter to Baroness Hallett warning that key Module 1 recommendations are being disregarded.

Of particular concern is the NHS stance that any attempt to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus would be “a waste of public health resources”.

[Anne Marie 💜 @annesmithmcc]

The Greens know the score.
@TheGreenParty @ZackPolanski

We can't carry on ignoring the long term harm to health.
We must take action and provide #CleanAir

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

We fear it’s time to update the website @YoungLabourUK

[Natalie Bennett @natalieben]

The next pandemic is highly likely to be airborne. We need clarity on whether the government is prepared.

Are medical supplies up to date? And what action is being taken on ventilation and air filtration to keep public spaces safe?

#PublicHealth #PandemicPreparedness

[Ceri Turner 💚😷 @Ceri_turns]

@ZackPolanski @Channel4 #IsItOk that the Labour government, like the Tory government, is ignoring the ongoing harms of Covid, on the health of adults & children, education, workers, disability, the economy, & being even worse on protections - even making vaccine access less than that for flu?
