"So far, we’ve focused on three ways of controlling infection: vaccination, isolation, and ventilation, although there are others, such as mask wearing...but none are sufficient on their own. It is the combination of measures which is critical to controlling infection."

"We talked at the time of “building back better,” using the lessons of covid to improve future responses, especially to predictable winter pressures. It is frustrating that, five years on, governments and institutions are still ignoring lessons..."

On Wednesday they take away #AssistancetoLive. On Friday -today - they may give #AssistanceToDie. On Wednesday they take away our Personal Independence. They make us dependent. They take support away from unpaid carers on whom we depend. 🧵

@SalWitcher Need both but meeting chum (outdoors) next week who's visiting. Any specific place one should lookie?

[StanBOOP! 💜😷🦥 @StanBOOP]

@InclusiveNew @edfests Ooh where can one in the vicinity pick one or two up for distribution? 😉

Meanwhile NHS will rely on hand washing messaging because they don't want the liability associated with inadequate PPE... 🔮🫠

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

If mPox gets to the UK, it'll be OK because some scientists and politicians will be on TV saying that 'herd immunity' will deal with it, meaning that most people will get it, old and sick people will die (which is OK) and the rest will get it, not be v. ill, and become 'immune'.

[Friesein @Friesein]

The world is still in a pandemic by the WHO definition. You can't just reduce surveillance in hospitals and call it a win.

Beyond the stock market, numerous economic indicators are trending towards recession.

The economics are directly impacted by continued viral spread. 🧵

Why do they PREFER US to USE "ENDEMIC" instead of "PANDEMIC"?

After an interesting discussion with @brownecfm and @DavidJoffe64 considering the term "endemic" as a linguistic code, I wanted to respond for once, in a lighter way with some cartoons.

[Prof Julia Lawton @Prof_J_Lawton]

I would love to meet the wise, well-informed person in Edinburgh who has been doing Public Health Scotland’s job for them. Whoever you are, you rock …

@InclusiveNew @SmartairUk Disabled thanks to contracting Delta at the "COVID Safe™" @edfringe August 2021. Left with autoimmune condition, £150k lost in income so far. Relocated from London to Edinburgh especially but won't be risking health further by attending any shows until venues mitigate.

@drclairetaylor @JohnSwinney This is recurring at my Lothian GP surgery too but blaming locum shortages -seeing as all but x2 GPs refuse to mask due to their "beliefs and right not to" in the face (literally) of disabled (inc CEV) patient requests this is hardly surprising. A visceral neglect culture.

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

The number of people suffering from Long Covid in the UK has increased from 2.9% of the population in Mar 2023 to 3.3% in Mar 2024.

That’s 2 MILLION people in England & Scotland…

…or 2.2 MILLION if you extrapolate across the whole of the UK.

UK: People who refuse to take sick days are costing the economy billions every year

“Too often, UK workers are being pressured to work through sickness when that’s not appropriate – harming their wellbeing and reducing productivity."

@ZeroCovidScot @NHSOrkney It's an ongoing scandal so I make sure to record 🎙️every interaction with NHS Lothian regarding my ongoing "treatment" of Sars related damage.
There's a receipt for every "we don't have to" or "government guidelines" fudge each time I've asked about mitigations.

Who needs conspiracy theories when the clues are actually there 👀

[The Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation UK @CRFoundationUK]

Sorry, but for an #NHS
Scotland health board to make hand washing the central pillar of respiratory infection control in July 2024 is frankly embarrassing.

@PeteUK7 @JonathanKBall I "just got on with life" when restrictions were lifted and Delta came along.
Been disabled since, permanent immune damage, perpetually shielding with no end in sight, and lost income totalling ~£150k so far.
Cheers, Ball(s).
