COVID AND DEMENTIA

Have spent the last few days looking into the situation with care, cover and dementia.

Dementia sufferers are dying at an alarming rate in this epidemic, one of the worst affected groups.

These are the reasons why and what could change it. (thread)

[RT UK @RTUKnews]

A report shows that deaths for people with learning disabilities in care homes more than doubled during the #Covid19 #pandemic.

Is this another government scandal in the making? Campaigner @GeorgeJulian explains if this was at all avoidable.

This is a parody account but allow me one serious tweet.

A story you may know but one I was shamefully unaware of until recently. #BlackLivesMatter

This piece provides a broad context to US racism & policing if you are looking for accessible content for your students https://t.co/QJNMN8y8Fb

[Prof Ryan @sarasiobhan]

The response by the DHSC to the 'news' that the deaths of learning disabled and/or autistic people have doubled during #COVID19. 1/5

@edmund_cf I created impromptu standing desk from a big box - really helped with hunching (and my own shabby posture). I do have dedicated space though so that might not be feasible for you. Good luck

[Jenni Brooks @JenniBrooks]

This is marvellous. In the spirit of 'robust peer review', it would be better if it also involved a chicken.

[Dan Baldassarre @evornithology]

Been getting a lot of emails from this predatory journal lately, so I decided to submit this manuscript. Stay tuned. 🤞🤞🤞 https://t.co/nv1f2PausF
