Today is #InternationalDayOfOlderPeople so we're shining a spotlight on our research partnership with @EothenHomes - which aims to enhance older people's care.

The first piece of collaborative research has been around staff uniforms in care homes ⬇️

It’s not the lockdowns. It’s the covid. And honestly any expert that’s talking about the surges in infections we’re seeing without saying anything about covid immune damage in December 2023, with all this published data, is either woefully uninformed or outright dishonest.

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

This right here is the real immunity gap: the gap between how well people’s immune systems performed before covid vs after.

Covid-naive immune systems outperform covid-infected ones. Even after vaccination.

See our evidence summary about behavioural prehab before surgery 👇🏼
TLDR: helping people to stop smoking before surgery can help them stay smoke free up to a year after surgery. Evidence on healthy eating, exercise and drinking is limited and mixed.

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

Yet more evidence from the US on effectiveness of Covid vax in the under 5s - the last big group left facing their first infection. UK could give infants protection with vax but has chosen not to.

Here is the latest from our team in @NatureMedicine

Should you protect yourself from Covid-19 reinfection

Yes!

Reinfection is not benign; it is best to avoid it

A thread 🧵

[Dr Zoë Hyde @DrZoeHyde]

Imagine if you could rapidly detect COVID-19 in public places by testing the air. Now you can! Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new air monitor that can detect the presence of an infected person in as little as 5 minutes. 🧵

[Unite against COVID-19 @covid19nz]

Every time you catch COVID-19, your risk of other severe issues starts to rise.

Research is starting to show that with reinfection, your chance of serious issues such as diabetes, mental health issues, and chronic fatigue goes up.

Dear ⁦@Mark_Butler_MP⁩

Prof Ke explains Covid “wreaks havoc”, fusing brain cells

“It’s quite permanent & over time I imagine these large structures of cells eventually might die”

Brain cells dying

Does this give you pause? Kids? Workers? Voters? https://t.co/3RhuMrhxYm
