@MrsGeek22@SorchaEastwood Yes and importantly so, he did not fight back against the stupid parts of the Conservative response to Covid. Yes support them in the shutting down, but when they opened up too early this wa s starkers chance to make a name for himself by opposing and supporting actual science
@_CatintheHat Good - they are recommending respirators.
Can't seem to bring themselves to recommend the same for covid, though.
Recommending a precautionary approach?
That would be NOT disembarking passengers.
We appear to all have parts in the film "Idiocracy"
@AbraarKaran@AP Also, I think this could be more evidence that the returning passengers should spend their quarantine under observation in the military medical center, as opposed to home monitoring
Testing positive without symptoms brings up a number of questions
Is this an asymptomatic case or someone that hasn’t developed symptoms yet but is already shedding virus and this was picked up because of daily testing
And what does this mean for the possibility of transmission without symptoms - pre or asymptomatic transmission
#Hantavirus
Lesson from Covid… by the time you realize that you need mandatory quarantines and mass testing… it’s too late for those measures to be fully effective.
Waiting until people become symptomatic to test/ isolate is a bandaid on a hemorrhage.
I'm gonna die on this hill: Chronic absenteeism will improve if schools normalized staying home while contagious instead of rewarding perfect attendance
@1goodtern Yes. The public has been conditioned AWAY from science since 2019... dramatically so, in many areas. This will become profoundly problematic when we all need to work together... relying on scientific measurements and data as our focal point.😵💫🤦🏼♀️
@1goodtern The ones who fought for pandemic preparedness before Covid, were disregarded until moments before Covid was declared a pandemic.
Those people have given up and retired; those who ignored the pandemic pushed themselves into leadership positions.
@outbreakupdates@deWittJohan They probably went home by bus, tram, metro 🙄... Because we do self-isolation at home with all familymembers cosy at home. Just 1,5 mtr distance, probably no N95 masks or HEPA ventilation at home. And partners and kids are going to work and school tomorrow. No worries! 🤫
@outbreakupdates the "quarantine" imposed on (potentially) infected people in the Netherlands is also not enforced/checked by anyone, allows for the people to still go outside, and there's no quarantine imposed on housemates.

@outbreakupdates@RandomUser52762 At least they owned up to it. I fear in the U.K. infection control has become almost an optional extra so the same or worse might happen
@outbreakupdates What do you mean by procedural errors? Like they didn’t wear ppe I’m assuming?
Ever since covid has rotted peoples brains a lot of hcws who used to follow ppe rules correctly before the pandemic have stopped unfortunately
@5By5Creativity@PaisleyJanine@crwequine Well, apparently the environment Trumps public health. I remember back in 2021 being encouraged to take public transport to the vaccination Centre. Absolutely not.
